--- Comment #1 from david@catwhisker.org ---
I have no objection to adding a LICENSE to x11-wm/piewm.

That said, it is not obvious to me that the MIT license is appropriate; indeed,
it's not obvious to me what license would be appropriate.  Scanning through the
files in the distribution, I find each of the following at least once:

(Obtained from within the unpacked distribution files & running:
grep -hwi copyright * | sort -u
Which is quite crude... but illustrative.)

For comparison, I also see:
grep -hwi license * | sort -u
produces no output.
