We have licence scanners for compliance and its not able to identify the licence for goose which is causing some issues.
It seems a silly one but the LICENCE file for MIT appears to be non-standard in the way it's adding a title in the middle of the expected licence.
As far as I am aware the MIT licence should be formatted:
<copyrights>
<legals>
Where as the goose licence is:
<copyrights>
<MIT Licence title>
<legals>
Which appears to break the definition of the licence. Most open source libs appear to put the licence title at the top, leaving the licence below it in tact, i.e.:
So the change request here is just to just swap the title to the top before the copyrights.
As an aside I often see people using "The MIT License (MIT)" for the title. As far as I can understand there's no real standard on that. There appears to be a historic quirk on the licence file being called after what it was to a generic named "LICENCE" file with a title the top to denote the licence, and that's developed as the norm its seems.
