Hi, I have a very specific question regarding the licensing of my R package.
Here is the details: I have an R package under the MIT license so the DESCRIPTION file contains the field `License: MIT + file LICENSE` and the LICENSE file contains the following required fields: ``` YEAR: yyyy COPYRIGHT HOLDER: xx ``` My problem is that my package includes a third party C++ library also under MIT license but with different copyright holder and year information (available in its own LICENSE file shipped with the library). How can I edit the LICENSE file of my package to have both copyright information? Am I supposed to merge them without specifying that I developed one package and only included another lib? For instance, the package RcppEigen (which has a similar structure with an included third party C++ lib) specifies the different copyrights in the LICENSE file (but the license is different and not MIT, thus the requirement regarding the LICENSE file is not the same).
