Online MIT License Fork it to make it your own.

A permalink for your MIT License

I always forget to add a LICENSE file to my projects, so I wanted to link to a single resource that would always be up to date and would always have my details online.

Why keep this to myself, there are three ways to create your own MIT license page:

1. Use the generator tool (easiest)
2. Make a request to the API (details below)
3. Fork this project and send a pull request

The users directory contains a list of files, each representing a host on mit-license.org. The minimum requirement for the JSON is that it contains a copyright field – everything else is optional. Remember to ensure the user.json file is valid JSON.

Available fields:

• copyright (required)
• URL
• email
• format
• gravatar
• theme
• license

You can fork and modify it from my Github repository here:
