That is in stark contrast to the GPL license, which can optionally be used with jQuery. The documentation clause is from the BSD family of licenses and is quite interesting, because if you simply redistribute the original source files you are already complying with it by including those source files in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution. As long as the source file IS part of the distribution, you don't need to add it to your docs or About dialog because of the and/OR part.

Antoine Blanchard wrote: Hi everyone, For the latest project I have lead (which is a java web project) I have included some jquery,jqueryui and 1 or 2 jquery plugins, knowing that the MIT license allow us to use it even for commercial use. Now that the v1 is almost done. We are wondering what exactly we have to do to be legal. MIT license says: on the condition that the license is distributed with that software. what does that mean exactly? Do we need to write a line in our docu saying: use jquery,..., which is under MIT license? Do we have to write on the pages with our copyright that we use jquery with the little ©? Do we have to do something else? Thanks for the explanations. Antoine if you leave the comment on top of your js file intact, you'll be fine. -- Jonathan Vanherpe - Tallieu Tallieu NV - jonat...@tnt.be
