Should I add MIT license?
In your source code, you only need to keep the MIT license notices of your dependencies intact – you do not have to add them anywhere.
Can I Relicense MIT code?
No, you can’t relicense someone else’s MIT or BSD code, only code you’ve written. Only a copyright holder can license his/her code, or someone to whom the copyright holder has given explicit permission to do so.
Can I relicense MIT as GPL?
It’s technically legal. The MIT (Expat) license places a few restrictions on you. These are a subset of the GPL license. Therefore, if you relicense the code under the GPL, and keep the MIT notice, then you’ve satisfied the terms of the MIT license and may legally redistribute the code.
Do you need a license to use mit code?
You should make it clear that any changes that you make to the MIT-licensed code are released under your new license. The MIT License text & copyright notice must still be included with any unmodified MIT-licensed code.
What does the MIT License mean for reuse?
The MIT license gives users express permission to reuse code for any purpose, sometimes even if code is part of proprietary software. As long as users include the original copy of the MIT license in their distribution, they can make any changes or modifications to the code to suit their own needs.
Which is part of a software package is MIT licensed?
Sometimes only part of a software package is MIT Licensed. For example, the software may include graphics under a different license, or may come with certain non-free additions. The author of the software will usually make the scope of the license clear.
Do you need copyright notice for MIT License?
Yes, however the copyright notice and permission notice must be included in the documentation or EULA of your Software. For example: “This software uses – see library-license.txt”. How do I display the MIT License if my project has no documentation or “about” feature?
