Editing MIT License (section)

==Comparison to other licenses==
===BSD===

The original [[BSD licenses|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<ref name="update">{{cite web|url=ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change|title=To All Licensees, Distributors of Any Version of BSD|publisher=University of California, Berkeley|date=1999-07-22|access-date=2006-11-15}}</ref>) is present in the modified MIT License used by [[XFree86]].

The [[University of Illinois/NCSA Open Source License]] combines text from both the MIT and BSD licenses; the license grant and disclaimer are taken from the MIT License.

The [[ISC license]] contains similarities to both the MIT and simplified BSD licenses, the biggest difference being that language deemed unnecessary by the [[Berne Convention]] is omitted.<ref>{{cite web

===GNU General Public License===
The GPL is explicit about the [[patent]] rights an owner grants when the code or [[derivative work]] is distributed,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Patents and GPLv3 - FSFE|url=https://fsfe.org/activities/gplv3/patents-and-gplv3.html|access-date=2020-12-01|website=FSFE - Free Software Foundation Europe|language=en}}</ref> while the MIT license does not discuss patents. Moreover, the GPL license impacts derivative works, but the MIT license does not.
