GitHub’s license detection was classifying the repository as NOASSERTION/Other because the root LICENSE file included a non-standard Microsoft copyright line alongside the canonical MIT text. The upstream Microsoft attribution is still important, but it belongs in NOTICE.md, not in the project’s SPDX-matching license text.

• Summary

  • Standardize the repository’s root LICENSE to the canonical MIT text.
  • Keep the project’s copyright ownership in the license file while removing the extra Microsoft-specific addition that breaks SPDX detection.
  • Preserve the upstream Microsoft provenance and licensing context in NOTICE.md.

• Changes

  • Removed the non-standard Portions Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. clause from LICENSE.
  • Kept the project’s MIT license text intact and unmodified aside from that corrective change.
  • Left the upstream Microsoft notices and attribution in NOTICE.md to document the derived source cleanly.
