At no time in all this was there any evidence of incorrect behavior on the part of 9front. None. Zip. Zero. Zed. They have always been careful to follow the rules.

Further, when people in 9front wrote new code, they released it under MIT, and Cinap among others was very kind in letting Harvey use it.

So, Ibrahim, I can not agree with your statement here.

0.2.4.4 - PRAISE FOR 9FRONT’S BOLD ACTION, RE: LICENSING

Any additions or changes (as recorded in git history) made by 9front are provided under the terms of the MIT License, reproduced in the file /lib/legal/mit, unless otherwise indicated.

0.2.4.5 - Everyone loves the Plan 9 license (circa 2021)

In 2021, the Plan 9 Foundation (aka P9F—no relation) convinced Nokia to re-license all historical editions of the Plan9 source code under the MIT Public License.

As a consequence, all of 9front is now provided under the MIT License unless otherwise indicated.

Re-read: /lib/legal/mit

This is a citation of the current FQA and in older ones predating the relicensing by Nokia the same paragraphs were present. If those statements from the 9front documentation are correct than your MIT relicensing predates the moment where the owner of plan9 Nokia made such a decission. This paragraph regarding the "bold action" of relicensing appeard before the owners of the code made it available under MIT license.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
