Lisensi MIT adalah lisensi perangkat lunak bebas permisif yang berasal dari Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Sebagai lisensi permisif, Lisensi MIT memberikan batasan yang sangat longgar tentang penggunaan kembali dan memiliki kompatibilitas lisensi yang sangat baik. Lisensi MIT mengizinkan penggunaan kembali perangkat lunak dengan lisensi MIT menjadi perangkat lunak berpemilik asalkan menyediakan salinan semua persyaratan dan pemberitahuan hak cipta dari Lisensi MIT. Lisensi MIT juga kompatibel dengan banyak lisensi copyleft, misalnya Lisensi Publik Umum GNU (GPL); Perangkat lunak berlisensi MIT dapat diintegrasikan ke dalam perangkat lunak GPL, tetapi tidak sebaliknya.

Permissive licensing simplifies things One reason the business world, and more and more developers [...], favor permissive licenses is in the simplicity of reuse. The license usually only pertains to the source code that is licensed and makes no attempt to infer any conditions upon any other component, and because of this there is no need to define what constitutes a derived work. I have also never seen a license compatibility chart for permissive licenses; it seems that they are all compatible.

The licences for distributing free or open source software (FOSS) are divided in two families: permissive and copyleft. Permissive licences (BSD, MIT, X11, Apache, Zope) are generally compatible and interoperable with most other licences, tolerating to merge, combine or improve the covered code and to re-distribute it under many licences (including non-free or 'proprietary').
