Title: Change to SPDX License Identifier (LGPL-2.1+ or MIT) for composer

The `composer validate` command is now supporting [SPDX license identifers](http://spdx.org/licenses/).

As your package is used within other codebases (and has a composer.json file) I kindly ask you to change the license identifier in [`composer.json`](https://github.com/technosophos/querypath/blob/master/composer.json) from `MIT-like` to `(LGPL-2.1+ or MIT)` ([*GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 or later*](http://spdx.org/licenses/LGPL-2.1+) or [*MIT License*](http://spdx.org/licenses/MIT)).

This suggestion has been done in good faith and is not a change of the license, just the way how it is identified. See as well [composer.json license property](http://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#license).

Please review the suggestion as it's an assumption only. The information given in your package was a bit ambigous for me whether it is GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 *only* or *or later*. `README.md` tells the first, whereas `COPYING-MIT.txt` tells the later.
