* "MIT equivalent" license (2-clause BSD, 3-clause BSD, ISC)
* License less restrictive than the MIT License (CC0 1.0 Universal)

Some licenses are similar to the above, but are not preferable because they
contain additional conditions not present in the MIT License. The following are
accepted in referenced dependencies, on a case-by-case basis, when there is no
MIT-licensed alternative:

* Apache License version 2.0

Licenses we will not use:

* An ambiguous license, or no license
