FWIW, I don't care either way. It's a messy problem. In theory you could look at it this way: it's public domain, so you can modify a single character and then put your own copyright on it, so you could change the name. The problem with that theory is that the whole reason the MIT license exists is because some company's lawyers are worried about the legitimacy of the public domain thing, so need some other legal method to use it. If they need the MIT license because they don't belive in public domain 'license', then they're not going to love an argument that it's ok to change a copyright notice based on it being public domain. |

If you don't mind, I will leave your name on it, since you are the original author of everything, thanks! |
