Description

https://github.com/dselivanov/text2vec/blob/0b31bdd81f37baaf0bd2c8113cbaa578450c8730/LICENSE#L1-L2

This stub is what I usually see in MIT-licensed packages, e.g.

https://github.com/r-lib/styler/blob/b1927eef3c32cc2d8bbadf0b9546aca47e391e66/LICENSE
https://github.com/r-lib/lintr/blob/3ea1df1b9941a14e887aba3f6f20c26fc39ad2c1/LICENSE
https://github.com/r-lib/cpp11/blob/7d0e4ac1127905fde7fbe8f41ba7344e2ddd1679/LICENSE

But of course {text2vec} is GPL:

https://github.com/dselivanov/text2vec/blob/0b31bdd81f37baaf0bd2c8113cbaa578450c8730/DESCRIPTION#L5

Other packages with similar DESCRIPTION use a rather different LICENSE file:

https://github.com/cran/frbs/blob/3aba8824eed1b98c55757a50195a946caaf549ee/LICENSE
https://github.com/cran/ChannelAttribution/blob/efff8a1a9112d229eda885f98834eaeaf60a273f/LICENSE
https://github.com/cran/RNetCDF/blob/18741705ee87e7eda7e5da6b67ea3f05326d9475/LICENSE
https://github.com/cran/Rmagic/blob/fbbf11a587d099c551357285cd167f335e365677/LICENSE
https://github.com/cran/ggtern/blob/481c8c8e80e7eadb24f35e13f6461f1ce0e513a1/LICENSE

(I did find {vayr} with the same stub: https://github.com/cran/vayr/blob/a06ec9ff672fd598c0e311f8300008c43ed34628/LICENSE)

Is this WAI? I imagine just deleting the LICENSE file would be fine per R standards?
