License wording "MIT/Apache-2.0" is ambiguous (slash could be read as combined or dual-licensed). Consider rephrasing to a clearer form like "MIT or Apache-2.0" (common dual-license wording) or "MIT and Apache-2.0" to match the style used elsewhere in this list (e.g., "AGPL-3.0 and Apache-2.0 Licenses").
