Permissive

MIT License

A short permissive license that allows commercial use, modification, and redistribution with attribution.

Compared to common options: Similar to ISC/BSD for day-to-day reuse; lighter than Apache-2.0 (no explicit patent grant / NOTICE rules).

Generally allows

  • Commercial use
  • Modification
  • Distribution
  • Private use
  • Sublicensing

Typically requires

  • Include the copyright notice and license text in copies or substantial portions

Watch-outs

  • Holding authors liable (software is provided as-is)

How teams usually use it

  1. For publishing: keep a LICENSE file at the repository root with the MIT text and your copyright line.
  2. For adopting: retain notices when you redistribute source or binaries that include MIT-licensed code.
  3. Track transitive dependency licenses separately — MIT on your package does not rewrite dependency terms.
Official & reference sources

Orientation only — not legal advice. Always verify the repository LICENSE file, notices, and dependency terms, and obtain counsel for commercial distribution decisions.

Projects declared under MIT.

Inspect repositories, stacks, activity, and alternatives across catalog projects that declare MIT.
