Is default package license URL correct?

See original GitHub issue

Looks like the license points to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=529443.

This is the old library license.

Shouldn’t we be defaulting to MIT? See https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/12190

Re: defaults - it’s still on my plate to get official guidance out there that we can agree on. But what seems to be emerging is that a) Arcade should provide “defaults” which teams are strongly recommended to use because that’s where the most value and support is found, and b) “defaults” can (almost) always be overwritten - with the team knowing that they are thus trading short term cost for (perhaps) more long term support cost.

Regardless - more soon on this…

@ericstj See https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/35159 my tentative conclusion from messing with it is it’s the PATENTS.TXT, which it’s mis-recognizing (with low confidence) as containing the MS-PL, and Github puts all this together and decides it’s not clearly MIT.
