Legal implications of Bower License

From the official example from http://bower.io/docs/creating-packages/#bowerjson

Inside bower.json file they have: 

"authors": [
    "Betty Beta <[email protected]>"
],
"license": "MIT",

Why is this necessary, and will there be any legal implications if we change our release later on, and forget to change this later?

Solution

  • If you don't change the license, then you're all set. You can change the code and distribute it, and even sell it.

    It's not a long licence, just read it, it will take you 30 seconds. MIT license
