Exactly! Very well explained.
But:
>MIT license still applies to the old code that did not change, from the point of view of a recipient of the combination, the results looks like a relicense.
That's again not true, you cannot delete the MIT license from that file, it's not important if you changed it, the original license is still there plus your license that don't contradicts the MIT license like "our license allows to delete all prior licenses" yes your added code is exclusively under your license but the whole file is MIT+ that was partially confirmed with the BSD and AT&T lawsuit (when AT&T took BSD code deleted the license and lost because AT&T "stole" more code as Berkley hmmm f're'e-licensed ;)
- cassianoleal 3y agoThat sounds very arbitrary but if that's the case, instead of changing the MIT-licensed file you can just create a new one and put the changed code there. Eventually the MIT one will just be empty, or all of its functions unused and it can be deleted.
- BSDobelix 3y ago>instead of changing the MIT-licensed file you can just create a new one and put the changed code there. Yes do that...even in the same file and put your License above or under the MIT one's...no problem (sub-license). I don't get it, what are you trying to say? MIT gives you the right to do nearly everything. Just don't take the copyright and license from the work and the people who made it. It's not viral.
