Proprietary software based on MIT license.

If my intention is to sell my software which include MIT licensed software, do I have to license my entire software under MIT license?

If I need to do this, does this then give my customer the right to distribute my software for free/money?

If I don't need to license my entire software under MIT license, how do I include the license for the MIT licensed part?

Thanks, Pelle

No, you don't have to license the rest of the software under the MIT licence.

You do need to include the copyright notice for the MIT licensed bits.

The wording of the license is pretty clear to me. What bits make you think it does require your entire software to use the MIT license?

"The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included inall copies or substantial portions of the Software." So, how do I include it for the "substantial portions of the software"?

I know this might be considered stupid questions, but I really want to make it clear for me..

Include the MIT copyright notice along with the copyright notices for your part of the software. The idea is just to make sure the copyright holder is acknowledged
