More for understanding here, but in the copyright documentation [1],
it says,
"There are many versions of the MIT license. Please use Expat instead,
when it matches."
Sure, I could have used Expat here.
Does it really matter that much if MIT or Expat is the name if the text
is included as well? More want to know going forward for other packages
as it seems a bit ambiguous.
Nah, does not matter too much. If the license provided matches the verbatim copy of Expat, use Expat.
We should be fine for now I guess.
