Discusses the origin and history of the “MIT License.” This license has become a popular way of releasing copyrighted computer programs for others to use without requiring signatures or a license fee. The quoted words refer to a group of software licenses that have common ancestry and guiding principles but varying wordings. There has been some recent discussion about the origin of the “MIT License,” but that discussion has been inconclusive because authoritative historical documentation has been missing or hard to find. This note provides some of that history and documentation. Being composed 35 years after the events involved, it relies primarily on my often-flaky recollections but it also offers some relevant supporting documentation found in my files and in online archives.

“MIT 许可证”的由来

讨论“MIT 许可证”的起源和历史。此许可证已成为一种流行的方式,可以发布受版权保护的计算机程序供他人使用,无需签名或支付许可证费用。引用的词是指一组具有共同祖先和指导原则但措辞不同的软件许可证。最近有一些关于“MIT 许可证”起源的讨论,但由于缺少或很难找到权威的历史文献,所以讨论没有定论。本笔记提供了其中的一些历史和文档。它是在所涉事件发生 35 年后创作的,主要依赖于我经常断断续续的回忆,但也提供了一些在我的文件和在线档案中找到的相关支持文档。
