> it still requires copyright notice in binary distribution.

Really? I thought MIT/ISC just meant one can't remove that notice when redistributing the source. Is one supposed to do something particular with binaries as well?

The MIT license says: "The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software."

Typically, "Software" means also binaries [1]. The MIT license text is usually included in the software documentation or about box. If you are not sure where to put it, then ask the open source project owners how to attribute them.

In some sense aren't binaries modified versions of the source?
