Hi Sebastian,

The MIT license is very permissive, and allows you (us) to modify and =
sublicense etc etc with the only restriction being the NOTICE =
requirement. There is no reciprocity requirement for the MIT license so =
change it as you see fit.

So imho as long as you properly identify the code and its license in the =
project NOTICE and LICENSE files of the distribution you are fine.

Craig
