I guess I can make the text more generic without to much issue. As long
as the exception is for the "sys/" headers, we would probably be fine.
New change would be:

    +with the exception of "sys/" which may include headers under different
    +licences.

The text match the text at https://spdx.org/licenses/MIT.html, so I'm
not going to change it.
