The README.md says it's MIT, not Expat.

Please use "the same", not "a same".  This form refers to a specific
object with the specific set of properties, so the definite article
is used.

Unfortunately the whole sentence makes little sense as a whole.
I would just snatch the description from the xdg-open's manual page
to produce this description:

Language problems, again.  Too many to discern and discuss individually
-- but please take no offence!

I'd rephrase the whole piece like this:

| This library provides a set of Go functions allowing to "open" a file,
| directory or URI using the user's preferred application (or an
| operating system-wide default) to handle objects of those particular
| types.  Optionally, it's possible to directly specify the application
| to use for opening the resource.

Hope this helps.
