The MIT license is a “libre” license, because it does meet the Free Software Definition.
Nope. It allows someone to use code without sharing the changes of that code. It enables non-free software creators like Microsoft to take the code, use it however they like, and not have to share back. This is what Free Software prevents.
Tired of people calling things like MIT and *BSD true libre/Free Software. They’re basically one step away from no license at all.
