MIT License
Also known as: MIT License / MITライセンス / The MIT License
Permissive OSS license needing only a copyright notice. Allows commercial use, modification, and redistribution. Adopted by React and Godot.
Overview
MIT License is one of the most widely used OSS licenses. As long as the copyright notice is retained, use, modification, redistribution, and commercial use are all permitted. Godot's MIT license is notable for imposing zero royalties on game revenue.
Differences from Apache License
Apache License 2.0 is similar to MIT but adds explicit patent grant and termination clauses. Consulting legal counsel is recommended for enterprise adoption decisions. OSS license context is also covered in the Godot complete guide.
