Yes, the R project suggests projects to only submit a LICENSE file with the two attribution lines for year and copyright holder, and set the “License” field in the DESCRIPTION file as “MIT + file LICENSE”. Here are the instructions including the remainder of the license for reference: https://www.r-project.org/Licenses/MIT ~~ Ricardo PS: I still need to update the importer to select the Expat license by default when it encounters “MIT + file LICENSE” in the DESCRIPTION file.
