[Fedora-legal-list] MIT without copyright notice, requires to include the copyright notice

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello.

I see an important project has decided it's good idea to remove their own copyright notice from the top of their MIT license file while preserving the requirement for distributors to keep the copyright notice.

"""
The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in
all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
"""

But there is no such copyright notice to include.

Is it OK for a Fedora package to distribute the project or is it impossible to comply with the license terms and hence not allowed?

Note that this is not the case of MIT-0.
