- anewguy9000 4y agoso? the gist of the mit license is, "use without restriction". without the license the default is that you have no right to the work, so the license is what makes it a gift. you're welcome
- bageljr 4y agono it very much isn't use without restriction - you must credit the the author and otherwise follow the licensee. I can't copy and republish code from the Nvidia driver leaks because those are copyrighted by Nvidia (unless I have permission from them). In the same way you cannot copy and republish code from a MIT project unless I have permission from them (via the MIT licensee).

- drran 4y agoI would suggest to read the text and then contribute to the discussion. We have access to search engines too.
- wnkrshm 4y agoBut doesn't it say: > The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. So that's a required attribution if you want to follow the MIT license?
