I have no objection to adding a LICENSE to x11-wm/piewm.

That said, it is not obvious to me that the MIT license is appropriate; ind=

(Obtained from within the unpacked distribution files & running:
grep -hwi copyright * | sort -u

For comparison, I also see:
grep -hwi license * | sort -u
produces no output.
