==Detailed Usage==
'''[[:en:MIT License|MIT License]]''' has various versions, it may accurately refer to the '''Expat license''' or the '''X11 license'''. The "MIT License" often used and published on the [http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php official site of Open Source Initiative] is the same as the Expat license. So It would be better if you specify the license more precisely:

===Expat License===
If you are sure that the work is licensed under the same version as the Expat license, you may use:
<pre>{{MIT|Thomas Edison|Expat}}</pre>
or
<pre>{{Expat|Thomas Edison}}</pre>
it would render as:
{{MIT|Thomas Edison|Expat}}
The file would be placed in [[:Category:Expat/MIT License]].

===X11 License===
If you are sure that the work is licensed under the same version as the X11 license, which prenvents the name(s) of the author(s) from being used in advertising, you may use:
<pre>{{MIT|Thomas Edison|X11}}</pre>
or
<pre>{{X11|Thomas Edison}}</pre>
it would render as:
{{MIT|Thomas Edison|X11}}
The file would be placed in [[:Category:X11 License]].

===Default MIT License===
If you leave the second parameter blank:
<pre>{{MIT|Thomas Edison}}</pre>
it would render as:
{{MIT|Thomas Edison}}
with a notice "To uploader: MIT License has various versions..." at the bottom. The file would be placed in [[:Category:Expat/MIT License]].
