According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#license:

> Once a license is used in two or more packages in an official repository (including community), it becomes a part of the licenses package.

A quick `fd MIT` within /usr/share/licenses shows a good many hits from official packages (especially Rust packages), so it may be time to officially include MIT into the `licenses` package.

Cheers.
