beware! The file from licenses is used for the summary license for the
release. So if you only include the generic text, you are dropping
essential information from the license.

Many licenses have no varying parts (ALv2, GPLv2, CDDL 1.0 and 1.1),
for these you can use a generic file, but for the MIT case, the
Copyright line is from my understanding part of the license and we
can't just drop that.

BUT I'm not a lawyer, it is just my interpretation. So it would be
great if others could chime in.

Greetings

Matthias
