I've checked the git log of the repo, and an Expat LICENSE file was
added in 066f5e1656cd87e2e443bc05458fdb109e405f34 and then removed later
in:

commit b84c534180ab1042011836b5b9f38abacd2d2616

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Issues cannot be created on their tracker unless we've already
contributed to their repo, so I've tried submitting a PR instead [0], but
that also resulted in:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
An owner of this repository has limited the ability to open a pull
request to users that have contributed to this repository in the past.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Which is unfortunate.

Thus, I'm closing this issue.  Feel free to re-open if you could contact
the author and remediate the license situation.
