Double check which kind of MIT the package uses, and ensure it's the right SPDX identifier.

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/update-existing-packages/#_mit

Right.

The more verbose answer: MIT in previous system was used for whole family of licenses. Under SPDX we recognize them as

'mpich2', 'libtiff', 'SMLNJ', 'SGI-B-2.0', 'NTP', 'MIT', 'MIT-open-group', 'MIT-feh', 'MIT-enna', 'MIT-Modern-Variant', 'MIT-CMU', 'ICU', 'HPND', 'BSL-1.0', 'Adobe-Glyph'

and this list may not be even complete. You as a maintainer should check the license of your package. There is high chance that it will be still MIT. But it is not 100%. I, personally, use SPDX License Diff plugin to see what license it is https://github.com/spdx/spdx-license-diff

Once you update the package - and even if the package will have the same license string under SPDX - please add changelog entry https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/update-existing-packages/#_changelog_entry
