I don't get it.

This is from the MIT license, which is the school he's doing research for (emphasis mine): > Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so His TOS is literally the antithesis to the free nature of the MIT license :)

  This is my fault. I do see how that part is worded ambiguously (I'll fix it later), but I have not been with MIT in years. Copy pasting what I've written in another comment: To clarify: I have not been with MIT in years. I was paid the minimum hourly rate (roughly $14 an hour) to work on a related project during my undergraduate years, which eventually evolved into this project years down the road. (In fact, I had to pay for my own compute to get my work started - MIT never offered me any credits.) And to address the philosophy behind the MIT license (also copy pasted from another comment): For the past three years, I have done nothing but work on this project nonstop. I've been working on massive improvements (that some have pointed out in this thread) that I've been stuck on for the past several months, but I'm getting close to finishing that up. I don't feel comfortable publishing or releasing anything until I know for a fact that I can make no further improvements. It's not out of corporate greed or anything like that - I'm just really paranoid about getting out the best work possible.

    Gotcha, I have no problem with wanting to keep your personal work closed source. I was just under the impression that this had been created as research funded by MIT. If that's not the case, then sorry for the confusion :)

  Being from MIT and releasing work under MIT license are two very, very different things.
