MIT alone is permissive enough for almost everyone, but it carries no express patent grant. Apache-2.0 does, and some review boards will only clear a dependency that offers one. Offering both, at the users option, costs nothing and removes that as a reason not to adopt. The license file becomes LICENSE-MIT and LICENSE-APACHE joins it, matching the rest of the project.

The licence file becomes
LICENSE-MIT,LICENSE-APACHEjoins it, and the package metadata moves to the PEP 639 SPDX expressionMIT OR Apache-2.0. Where aLicense ::classifier was present it is dropped rather than joined by a second one, since PEP 639 deprecates those in favour of the expression.Part of a set doing the same across the other repos.
