@theorytoe I'd just like to interject for a moment.

MIT has released many licenses, some barely free, some free, some proprietary.

There are many BSD licenses, some barely free, some free, some proprietary.


MIT expat is a free software license, it just badly oversteps by implying that copyright law applies to the usage of software and is so short it misses a bunch of things that could make the software proprietary in certain circumstances.

The same problem applies to the BSD 3-clause, 2-clause, 1-clause and 0-clause.
