Hi, in the rr/README, it states: "If you prefer, you can consider the code in this package, and this package only, to be licensed under the MIT license instead."
This is not clear as to what the license is and I have a feeling that FTP masters will not like it.
Can you open up an issue on amfora GitHub repository and ask makeworld there as to what should be the license?
Since the record of such a conversation would be public, we can justify in d/copyright proper licensed for everything.
