Why does the readme say "liberal license" when the license file is in fact "MIT license" Why hide the fact that it is under the MIT license? Why is there a folder called licenses and why does it contain an unfilled in license (Copyright (c) <year> <copyright holders>)?

MIT is considered by most to be a "liberal license", and phrasing it that way makes for better marketing than stating the exact type of license in a "Features" section.

The additional license is for another project (murmurhash2).
