License clarification #13

Closed CriseX closed 8 years ago

You may want to include a note that the particular variant of MIT license you use may also be referred as the Expat License. Or specifically state MIT license as listed by the OSI to resolve any ambiguity.

I have seen both the Expat and X11 licenses referred as the MIT License, Expat seems to be the more common one as well as also the one used by OSI under the name MIT license.

I know the text is on the page, but when searching information on compatible licenses your license may be listed under Expat instead, as is done by f.ex. GNU.
