We should validate that these license files are correct. If they are, we should open an issue with github so that they recognize them correctly.

From the docs on how GitHub detects licenses, it looks like they use the Licensee ruby gem. Licensee also explains a bit how they detect licenses at their "What we look at" doc.

Basically they look for licenses similar to the templates available at https://choosealicense.com/licenses/.
