I’ve been in a battle with someone regarding open source software that’s license under the MIT. As far as I understand it you are allowed to alter modify redistribute and even sell as long as you keep the original license.

The person keeps treating their software is proprietary however and trying to set community guidelines to how it can be used.

As far as I understand, community standards are not enforceable on an MIT license. Yet the person keeps claiming that right. It’s got to the point where even mentioning and showing the software in a YouTube video is getting them to try to claim copyright infringement.

To me it seems very clear however I can’t seem to get any one with any actual authority to take a concrete stance.

What am I missing?
