Question

I make some changes in console application that was released under the MIT license but i don't understand much about the license. Is it required to credit the original author in it and do i need to credit myself for changes?

Was it helpful?

Solution

The MIT license specifically requires you to retain the copyright holder's copyright notice.

That means YES, you must credit the original author.
