This is the correct writing for MIT License.
With this, you will get MIT licenses tab beside contributors tab.

Hi @rohmanhm, I'm your friendly neighborhood Microsoft Pull Request Bot (You can call me MSBOT). Thanks for your contribution!

This seems like a small (but important) contribution, so no Contribution License Agreement is required at this point. Real humans will now evaluate your PR.

TTYL, MSBOT;

@rohmanhm thanks for the PR, i think it is cool to get the License tab to show up in the repo. A couple of comments on the PR... Microsoft policy is to include the "All rights reserved." clause and omit the year. If you make these changes, will the license tab still show up in GitHub?

Thanks for the change... also can we remove the copyright year?

@chrisdias Sorry, you can't. If you remove the copyright year, GitHub can't recognize your MIT License and your LICENSE Tab can't show up. Because of invalid format for MIT License.

Ok, hopefully last change request :).

After checking with our legal folks, can you do a range on the copyright year?

Copyright (c) 2015 - present Microsoft Corporation

This should still be valid and it will show up as a new tab.

Yes, you can. I make a new commit and it's valid MIT License. You can keep going.
