Description
The test file `src/licensedcode/data/rules/mit_40.RULE` is detected as the MIT License, where in fact it is ambiguous: It can either be "the" MIT/X11 License, or it can be the X11-not-Expat variant of MIT licenses.
An example of the latter meaning of the term is at https://github.com/wayland-project/wayland/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md
