This is just removing the verbatim license text and adding a link to
another file with the text?  ...and correcting the name of the
alternate license to be the MIT license...  I'm no lawyer, but if
that's what everyone in the kernel agrees is the way they want it
going forward then I have no objections to anything I was involved in.
