Nonsense. Of course the author, as copyright holder, can do whatever they damn well please with their own work, but if it is released under the MIT you are required to include a copy of the license when distributing the code. The fact that the author fails to do so doesn't magically invalidate that clause of the license. > Granted that the > author is able to make the full text of the license available upon request, > a package that the author says is MIT licensed, even without including the > full text, is still MIT licensed. -T.C. -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
