Should I treat it as under MIT, like the license header at the top of
the file says, or under the separate license text on line 4 and
later? Or both? Does anyone know what's the SPDX identifier for the
license text on line 4 and later?
I'd probably conclude 'both' based on limited information. Also, I
think the separate license text is something that ought to match to
SPDX "MIT" but doesn't, so I think the best thing to do here is to
submit an issue to
https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML proposing
a change to the XML file
(
https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/blob/main/src/MIT.xml) that
specifies what "MIT" means as an SPDX identifier. Jilayne can probably
provide more helpful guidance here.
