MIT/BSD licenses are essentially a copyright waiver.
- rdpintqogeogsaa 4y agoThey are not. You still have strings attached: the requirement of attribution and the disclaimer. With 3-clause and 4-clause BSD, there are even more strings attached. You can't just take MIT-licensed code. You have to take the code and the full copyright notice and license grant with disclaimer.
