While it's confusing, "All rights reserved" isn't actually a license and doesn't conflict with MIT; it's effectively just a (now-redundant) part of the copyright notice. It's been redundant for a long time (since the Berne convention), but doesn't strictly speaking do any harm.
- antoncohen 7y agoThis is correct. "All rights reserved" was a way of claiming copyright, similar to the © symbol. Open source non-public domain code still has a copyright, it is just licensed for use under an open source license. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_rights_reserved https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_rights_reserved
