     50 The MIT license is compatible with both the GPL and commercial
     51 software, affording one all of the rights of Public Domain with the
     52 minor nuisance of being required to keep the above copyright notice
     53 and license text in the source code. Note also that by accepting the
     54 Public Domain "license" you can re-license your copy using whatever
     55 license you like.
