I don't see how the term software, in "a copy of this software" doesn't apply to all the software I gave/sold them. | |

@HBhatia No, it does not make any difference. Just include the MIT license when you distribute your SAAS product.

With the final clause, the copyright notice must be shipped with the software, so it makes no difference that it is just binaries, you still need to include it.
