I see a problem with that "License is MIT". That's not how software is licensed and if the author wants this to be used, the legal part must be flawless.

Who's the copyright holder? How can I contact that person? What's the copyright year? Licensing software with MIT licence is trivial: http://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit/

Depending on the project, if I really care about the legal status of the code I use, I may contact the author to clarify this kind of thing, but sometimes it is too much hassle. Just look at it as a critical bug in your software, and fix it.

On a more personal note I started to dislike the "* for humans", it's been overused.
