MIT License

The MIT License repository is a simple GitHub project that hosts the full text of the MIT License and provides a stable reference for developers who want to include permissive licensing details in their work. The MIT License itself is one of the most widely used open-source licenses because it allows reuse, modification, distribution, and even proprietary use, as long as copyright notices and license texts are preserved. This repository offers an easy way to copy the license text, understand its legal language, and see example usage in a context that is separate from any specific software project. It can also be useful for automated tooling and templates where a standard license file is needed across multiple repositories or as part of a code generation process. While not a software library or application, the repository serves an important role in open-source governance by centralizing a commonly adopted license with clear formatting.
