Dear maintainer,

The shortname for this package license is "Expat", not MIT.

Your copyright file fails to document the copyright for
wsgi_intercept-0.5.1\wsgi_intercept\webunit_intercept\IMGSucker.py  , please
fix that in a subsequent upload. 

In fact, many files (not just that one) appear to have been lifted, sometimes
without attribution, from another project:
	http://pywebperf.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pywebperf/webperf/webperf/

The license appears to be the same and the package is otherwise acceptable, so
this will not hold up the package's entry in the archive. But do yell at
upstream and tell them to fix their headers, especially when taking third-party
code.

Including the upstream README and LICENSE.txt would probably be a useful remedy. 

Cheers,

Luke Faraone
