<code>SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT</code>
<p>Type: Permissive</p>
<br>
<p>MIT License is a highly permissive license which allows content licensed under it to be
used in any way, whether in source or binary form, and allows sublicensing under a different
license, with the only restriction being the original copyright notice must be kept in order
to attribute the original creator of the licensed content.<br>
Due to this license allowing the original project's name and/or contributors to be used to
endorse or promote products derived from the original project, unless an explicit statement
is made alongside this license, increasing complexity and deviating from the standard
license text, we prefer <a href="#licensing-bsd-3-clause-clear"
>BSD 3-Clause Clear License</a>; however, MIT License is a great choice when derivatives
using the name of the original project and/or its contributors is a non-issue.
