  1. Hi

Upstream Licenses is MIT but, Expat is setted.

  2. Hi,

I believe this is appropriate, as Expat is the more specific and preferred identifier for this commonly used MIT-style license.

This is recommended by Debian's copyright format specification, which states:
"There are many versions of the MIT license. Please use Expat instead, when it matches." [1]

Also, as Wikipedia points out, “MIT” can refer to a family of licenses rather than one unique text.

Thanks!
