From the home page, I saw that Fedora took the initiative to clear up
the licensing of this package.

I didn't recognize the text of the license, but I found it here, under
"Old Style":
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:MIT

It seems that what we call Expat, Fedora calls MIT. What do you think?

The file 'DESCRIPTION' simply says GPL-2. I don't know exactly how that
is interpreted; Does it imply gpl2+ or merely gpl2?

Same question as with the 'registry' package. The DESCRIPTION says
GPL-3, and I don't know how we interpret that.

I read this patch series and did a basic license auditing. The packages
seem straightforward. I assume you are already using these in
production, providing a more complete test of the packaging than I could
do.

If so, looks good!

As far as I know this “GPL-2” is usually understood to be “GPLv2, or
later”.  This is also how it’s done by Debian.

Yes, you are right.  This really should be Expat.  I’ll have to make
sure that the CRAN importer gets this right the next time.

Thanks for paying attention!

Thank you for the review.  I pushed these patches with one license
change from x11 to expat.
