The MIT license plainly says I am allowed to use the software without restriction. The portion of the license that grants permission is: > 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 It doesn't say anything about copyright or patents. It merely provides a list of things that I am allowed to do. To decide that they haven't granted all rights required to use the software would seem to contradict what was written in the license.
