To clarify, the <https://reuse.software> guidelines that Maxim proposed
adopting in fact require that a source repository contain the full texts
of all of the licenses it uses in files like "LICENSES/MIT.txt". The
name of the file must match the short identifier of the license, either
drawn from the published license list or using the form
"LicenseRef-MyStrangeLicense" for licenses not on the list.
Ah, right. Thanks for the clarification.
The link could just as well be to <./LICENSES/MIT.txt>. My suggestion
here is merely that, for new SRFIs, we reduce the number of separate
places that the full text of the MIT license is written out, to reduce
the danger of some of those places not precisely reproducing the
canonical license text. If that suggestion does not appeal, though, or
if more discussion is needed, I don't think it should block Maxim's
effort to add metadata.
Sounds reasonable.
