@paulmillr This change brings up a notch the level of difficulty to automate License text extraction. It was already difficult by the License text placement in the README.md, ... but now I give up :).

The context:

With VSCode we try very hard to make sure we acknowledge and credit correctly all the OSS components we ship with, one requirement of crediting correctly is that the license text we include is self-contained and resolved.

My tool now generates "MIT (c) 2016 Paul Miller (http://paulmillr.com) & Elan Shanker" which is not something the legal guys are happy with. i.e. https://github.com/paulmillr/mit can change

Please consider (if it's ok with you) bringing back the explicit license text or even putting it in a LICENSE file (pretty standard for other poor souls having to deal with license texts).

My License text extraction tool will quickly become a sad and manual process.

Sorry for the weird request, and thanks for your time :)
