The MIT License is a free software license originating at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Description

The MIT License is a permissive free software license, meaning that it permits reuse within proprietary software provided all copies of the licensed software include a copy of the MIT License terms and the copyright notice.

Such proprietary software retains its proprietary nature even though it incorporates software under the MIT License.

GPL-compatible

The license is also GPL-compatible, meaning that the GPL permits combination and redistribution with software that uses the MIT License.
