Why this port's declared license doesn't verbatim-match SPDX's canonical text for it. The highlighted line (if any) is where the authoritative template comparison first broke down.

MIT no match (?%)

Unable to find the text ' Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of ' following a variable rule 'copyright' starting at line #33 column #47 "". Last optional text was not found due to the optional difference: Normal text of license does not match starting at line #2 column #1 "copyright" when comparing to template text "MIT License "
