"o what both the 2-clause BSD license and the MIT license have in common are:
Permits use
Permits redistribution
Permits redistribution with modification
Provision to retain the copyright notice and warranty disclaimer
In addition the MIT license also explicitly allows:
merging
publishing
sublicensing
selling
However, all these freedoms are implied by the BSD license, because all these activities can be considered "use" and/or "redistribution" of the software.
The practical differences between the 2-clause BSD license and the MIT license are marginal. Which one to pick is mostly up to personal taste. Especially considering that both licenses are considered compatible, so you can take code under one license and use it in a project under the other, as long as you keep the license text around."
