<p>Because MIT has used many licenses for software, the <a href="/wiki/Free_Software_Foundation" title="Free Software Foundation">Free Software Foundation</a> considers "MIT License" ambiguous.

<p>The MIT License is similar to the 3-clause "modified" <a href="/wiki/BSD_license#Terms" title="BSD license" class="mw-redirect">BSD license</a>, except that the BSD license contains a notice prohibiting the use of the name of the copyright holder in promotion. This is sometimes present in versions of the MIT License, as noted above.</p>
<p>The original BSD license also includes a clause requiring all advertising of the software to display a notice crediting its authors. This "advertising clause" (since disavowed by UC Berkeley<sup id="cite_ref-update_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-update-7"><span>[</span>7<span>]</span></a></sup>) is present in the modified MIT License used by <a href="/wiki/XFree86_License" title="XFree86 License" class="mw-redirect">XFree86</a>.</p>
<p>The MIT License states more explicitly the rights given to the <a href="/wiki/End-user" title="End-user" class="mw-redirect">end-user</a>, including the right to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell the software. The MIT license also grants the right to sublicense<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify" title="Wikipedia:Please clarify"><span title="The text near this tag may need clarification or removal of jargon. (August 2014)">clarification needed</span></a></i>]</sup>—a right not mentioned in the BSD license. Because the MIT license grants the right to sublicense, any distributor of MIT-licensed code has the right to grant a license to the entire code base,<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Disputed_statement" title="Wikipedia:Disputed statement" class="mw-redirect"><span title="The material near this tag is possibly inaccurate or nonfactual.

<p>Like the BSD license the MIT license does not include an express patent license. Both the BSD and the MIT licenses were drafted before the patentability of software was generally recognized under US law. <sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span>[</span>8<span>]</span></a></sup> The MIT license contains terms that blur<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify" title="Wikipedia:Please clarify"><span title="The text near this tag may need clarification or removal of jargon.

<p>The <a href="/wiki/Simplified_BSD_license" title="Simplified BSD license" class="mw-redirect">Simplified BSD license</a> used by <a href="/wiki/FreeBSD" title="FreeBSD">FreeBSD</a> is essentially identical<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

<p>Also similar in terms is the <a href="/wiki/ISC_license" title="ISC license">ISC license</a>, which has simpler language.</p>
<p>The <a href="/wiki/University_of_Illinois/NCSA_Open_Source_License" title="University of Illinois/NCSA Open Source License">University of Illinois/NCSA Open Source License</a> combines text from both the MIT and BSD licenses; the license grant and disclaimer are taken from the MIT License.</p>
