> The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.<p>What’s the reasoning behind asking users to carry around a notice? Why not just let users go without it? Is it for legal reasons or for crediting the authors? I’ve released MIT licensed software before and frankly when someone is using my code, I really don’t care about credit or leaving behind a legacy or such things.
