Hi,
the best solution I think is to ask authors to
clarify license and ask them to include LICENSE
file in source tarball.

Assuming _all_ the source files carry the notice, this is not a problem, things
become a bit murkier when some files are missing the notice, but usually you
can assume they just forgot to add it to those files. (What _is_ a problem,
though, is when some sources include some conflicting or non-Free license.)

This sounds like a variant of the MIT X11 license, so it should be:
License: MIT
