But both included the MIT license

>>leoh+(OP)
The copyright notice is what must be included. The license states this very clearly.

>>jen20+Y1
The "above copyright notice" must be included; i.e. the general MIT license itself, without credit to any author. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License

The original BSD license did have a credit clause which led to considerable trouble and controversy, so they don't do that any more. IANAL, and this is extremely bad manners on someone's part, but no laws were broken.

>>Noment+Gi
> Copyright (c) <year> <copyright holders>

That's the copyright notice. The license text is "this permission notice". So no, you can not leave the original author name off.

The BSD license differs in that it requires the resulting software to display the credits, not just the source code to contain it. (Which is why e.g. phones or cars have somewhere deep in the menus a point where they show license information, to fulfill the BSD requirement)

My bad reading.
