According to the official website, this is not an MIT license.

The PR only affects the license, not the autoupdate hash extraction.

The license of Everything IS a MIT license indeed.

@niheaven Well, I’m not that sure.

On one hand, there is this answer.

Is "Everything" free? Yes, "Everything" is Freeware.

And on the other hand, the author states it is MIT licensed in the forum.

The Lite version uses the MIT license (same as the normal version)

There are several topics on the forum about the the open-sourceness of Everything, but the answer is not clear.

I cannot find the source code anywhere, and according to the dedicated tl;drLegal page, the MIT license should open the source code.

Until we can find the source code, should we consider Everything as a closed-source freeware? I’m puzzled.

I think this is an issue David Carpenter should address As far as I know, srwi/EverythingToolbar this open-source project is MIT licensed.
