Set `license` of `package.json` to MIT?

[WarheadsSE]

Subject of the issue

The package.json's statement of license is set to see GridStack root license. This causes issues with dependency license validation, such as used by GitLab's CI automation.

The official specification for license indicates several methods, to be used in the event that there is not already an associable SPDX license ID that applies. This includes indicating explicitly where to find the license content that applies to the code.

The LICENSE file clearly indicates that this package has been MIT for years. The change was placed within v4.0.1 (this commit), but we have been unable to locate any specific reasoning for this phrase.

Can we set this back to MIT?

Expected behavior

license matter is clear.

Actual behavior

license matter is non-deterministic.
