The meat of The MIT License is, you guessed it, a license. In general terms, a license is permission that one person or legal entity—the “licensor”—gives another—the “licensee”—to do something the law would otherwise let them sue for. The MIT License is a promise not to sue.
按照猜测,麻省理工执照的重点是执照。一般而言,许可是一个人或一个法律规定的实体----"许可人"----允许另一人----"被许可人"----做法律本来允许他们起诉的事情。MIT执照承诺不起诉。
The law sometimes distinguishes licenses from promises to give licenses. If someone breaks a promise to give a license, you may be able to sue them for breaking their promise, but you may not end up with a license. “Hereby” is one of those hokey, archaic-sounding words lawyers just cant get rid of. Its used here to show that the license text itself gives the license, and not just a promise of a license. Its a legal [IIFE][23].
法律有时会将许可证与承诺颁发许可证区分开来。如果有人违背了给他发许可证的承诺,你也许可以控告他违反了承诺,但你可能没有得到许可证。"在此"是律师们无法摆脱的时髦的古语之一。它在这里用来显示许可证文本本身给出了许可证,而不仅仅是一个许可证的承诺。这是合法的[IIFE][23]。
While many licenses give permission to a specific, named licensee, The MIT License is a “public license”. Public licenses give everybody—the public at large—permission. This is one of the three great ideas in open-source licensing. The MIT License captures this idea by giving a license “to any person obtaining a copy of … the Software”. As well see later, there is also a condition to receiving this license that ensures others will learn about their permission, too.
虽然许多许可证给予许可的具体命名的许可证麻省理工学院许可证则是一个“公共许可证”。公共许可证给予广大公众许可。这是开放源码许可的三大理念之一。MIT许可证通过向“获得该软件副本的任何人”颁发许可证来捕捉这一想法。正如我们将在后面看到的若获得这个许可证也有一个条件以确保其他人也会知道他们的许可。
The parenthetical with a capitalized term in quotation marks (a “Definition”), is the standard way to give terms specific meanings in American-style legal documents. Courts will reliably look back to the terms of the definition when they see a defined, capitalized term used elsewhere in the document.
在美国式的法律文件中,用大写的引号(一个“定义”)来表示术语的标准方法。当法院在文件的其他地方看到一个定义明确、资本化的术语时,大写的引号将会很可靠地回顾定义的术语。
