> Why is there ''and/or'' in the MIT license text? Why is it needed?
It's a stupid lawyer thing. A lot of us still write like this. I'm sorry.
> Does the phrase ''this permission notice'' cover the following disclaimer?
Arguable, but why would anyone bother chopping off the disclaimer?
> Also, what is the shortest possible license that is functionally equivalent to the MIT license?
Form and function aren't so neatly separated in natural language.
> Is this really a license?
It's a cute suckless thing. They're edgy like that, among other ways.
> What about the SQLite blessing?
SQLite holds their work out as in the public domain. But you can buy a license (and some commercial guarantees) to make your company's lawyers happy: https://sqlite.org/purchase/license https://sqlite.org/purchase/license
- smlckz 6y agoAnother stupid question: under what terms the licenses themselves are licensed? It is very clear in the Blue Oak Model license page. But what about all of these licenses like MIT, ISC, BSDs etc.? Last question, how much change in the software allowes me to add my name and where to add it, before or after original author(s)?
