But always remember to check the whole license. In umbraco, the framework is licensed under MIT, but the content management UI is not open source but freeware. The license clearly states that you're NOT allowed to re-brand and distribute the UI modified without a commercial license and as such umbraco is excluded: http://umbraco.org/license Hope this helps and good luck!
