Dear Mentors, According to https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/, the link at the top of generated copyright files, "There are [many versions of the MIT license](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License#Various_versions). Please use Expat instead, when it matches."
If I wanted to package software licensed under MIT, and the version given upstream matches the Expat license word-for-word, does the above sentence mean I should replace all references to the MIT license with Expat? Should my copyright file look like this? Files: * Copyright: 20XX <upstream developer> License: Expat Files: debian/* Copyright: 2024 David James License: Expat License: Expat <Expat text> Or should it look like this? Files: * Copyright: 20XX <upstream developer> License: MIT license Files: debian/* Copyright: 2024 David James License: Expat License: MIT license <MIT text> License: Expat<identical Expat text> I'm confused as to how to interpret the quoted sentence. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, David James
