This removes the copyright year in all the LICENSE files.
It also uses the MIT license text with the wrapping from
https://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit/ rather than the more narrow
wrapped text that was previously used, and adds the explicit "MIT
License" header to each file to make this more obvious.

Motivation

When I opened the license file, I was unsure if this was MIT licensed or another custom license due to the lack of header and non-standard formatting.

Solution

Use a more standard formatted license, and ensure the header states this is an MIT License.

This updates the license year to 2024 in all the LICENSE files.
It also uses the MIT license text with the wrapping from

wrapped text that was previously used, and adds the explicit "MIT
License" header to each file to make this more obvious.
