It is roughly the same as an MIT license consisting of a sandwich of (paragraph, line, paragraph), but it is missing the middle line of the 'sandwich'. Rationale This license has proven useful for code that is intended for developers to use as reference, teaching samples, examples, or templates that other developers may modify for their own purposes. In many of these cases, the initial developer may not want to impose even the cost of attribution, or the use cases may not be conducive to attribution. The CC0 and various "do what you want" licenses and various public domain dedications may be less attractive to the initial developer for various reasons (i.e., a license is preferable to a public domain dedication). The MIT license with all the attribution requirement language removed fills this need.
