As a contributor, I don't mind that choice. Still, the MIT license
requires that "The above copyright notice and this permission notice
shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the
Software.", so I'm curious how this requirement will be executed.

Will the licenses all be collected in a class comment of some class?
