Requested by DerekNonGeneric

Before: LICENSE/MIT.txt started at "Permission is hereby granted". It had no heading and no copyright line, which is exactly what CONTRIBUTING.md says a license copy must not look like.

After: the file opens the way the SPDX text does, with MIT License and Copyright (c) 2022 The OpenINF Authors.

The holder matches the SDK's own license and the AUTHORS file. The year is when this repository was created.

How: two lines added at the top of the file. The rest of the text is unchanged.

Fixes #642

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added a heading and 2022 copyright notice to the MIT License.

The MIT text in `LICENSE/` began at "Permission is hereby granted", with
the heading and the copyright line that SPDX publishes above it both
missing. The contribution guidelines say a copy without that line names
nobody and grants nothing, and this repository's own copy was one.

The line now reads `Copyright (c) 2022 The OpenINF Authors`: the same
holder the SDK's license names and the `AUTHORS` file lists, and the
year this repository was created. The heading comes back with it, so
the file starts the way the SPDX text does.
