MIT license is named after Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), also known as "X License" or "X11 License"

The MIT content is quite similar to the 3-clause BSD license, but it gives software licensees more rights and fewer restrictions.

The licensee has the right to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense and sell the software and copies of the software.

The licensee can modify the license terms to appropriate contents according to the needs of the program.

Copyright and license notices must be included in the software and all copies of the software.

This license term is not a free software license term of copyleft, and is allowed to be used in free/open source software or non free software (proprietary software).

This is also the essential difference between MIT and BSD (The BSD license, 3-clause BSD license).

MIT terms can coexist with other authorization terms. In addition, MIT terms are also free software licensing terms recognized by the Free Software Foundation (FSF), which are compatible with GPL.

Original English version of the agreement: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php
