Nevermind, I'll just edit it.

Hmm, that looks better. Weird.
But just judging from https://github.com/agrueneberg/crochet , I wouldn't
have thought that that was under MIT license. The only mention there
is in the DESCRIPTION file. Is that enough for Guix?

Let's wait until someone knowledgeable in CRAN posts.
Could you open an issue on https://github.com/agrueneberg/crochet asking
them to put an Expat license file into the project if that's their intention?

That has a file LICENSE.md which makes the situation a lot clearer
for that package.
> MIT [...] Expat
MIT is an ambiguous reference, actually it can be either Expat or X11.
