    MIT License

    Permissive free software license
    github.com/aws/mit-0

    The MIT License is a permissive software license originating at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the late 1980s. As a permissive license, it puts very few restrictions on reuse and therefore has high license compatibility. Unlike copyleft software licenses, the MIT License also permits reuse within proprietary software, provided that all copies of the software or its substantial portions include a copy of the terms of the MIT License and also a copyright notice. In 2015, the MIT License was the most popular software license on GitHub, and was still the most popular in 2024. Notable projects that use the MIT License include the X Window System, Ruby on Rails, Node.js, Lua, jQuery,.NET, Angular, and React. Wikipedia
