Rony, I think your understanding is correct but it needs a few comments. Here is IMO one of best and short explanation of what MIT license allows to do with the project: http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?Boost_License/MIT_License Summarizing: - you are allowed copy, use and modify the WCELIBCEX for any use - you're required to preserve license/copyright notice in all copies of WCELIBCEX files Cheers -- Mateusz Loskot http://mateusz.loskot.net |
