MIT litsents

MIT litsents on tarkvaralitsents, mis pärineb Massachusettsi Tehnoloogiainstituudist (MIT),[1] kus seda hakati kasutama 1980-ndate lõpus.[2] Litsents paneb tarkvara ja lähtekoodi kasutamisele väga väheseid piiranguid ning on seega hästi ühilduv teiste litsentsidega.[3][4]

Erinevalt copyleft-litsentsidest nagu GNU GPL, lubab MIT litsents materjali kasutamist ka omanduslikus tarkvaras tingimusel, et kõik tarkvara koopiad sisaldaksid koopiat litsentsi tingimustest ning autoriõiguse märgist.[5][6] 2015. aastal oli MIT litsents GitHubi kõige populaarsem tarkvaralitsents.[7]

Tuntud MIT litsentsi kasutavate projektide hulgas on X Window System, Ruby on Rails, Node.js, Lua, jQuery, .NET, Angular ja React.

But the complete story is more complicated and even a little mysterious. [...] Precursors from 1985. The X Consortium or X11 License variant from 1987. Or the Expat License from 1998 or 1999.

Permissive licensing simplifies things One reason the business world, and more and more developers [...], favor permissive licenses is in the simplicity of reuse. The license usually only pertains to the source code that is licensed and makes no attempt to infer any conditions upon any other component, and because of this there is no need to define what constitutes a derived work. I have also never seen a license compatibility chart for permissive licenses; it seems that they are all compatible.

Permissive licences (BSD, MIT, X11, Apache, Zope) are generally compatible and interoperable with most other licences, tolerating to merge, combine or improve the covered code and to re-distribute it under many licences (including non-free or 'proprietary').
