Package: debian-policy
Version: 4.1.2.0
Severity: normal

Hi,

as discussed on debian-devel [1] I would like to see that more DFSG
licenses are added to /usr/share/common-licenses and that package
maintainers are just allowed to reference them.

License: MIT / Expat
Source: https://opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php
Example packages: https://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses#The_MIT_License

Regards,

Markus
