I am a software developer and plan to use some icons from Jenkins CI in one of our commercial products. Jenkins CI is is distributed under the MIT license, which is designed for software and source code. As of my understanding of the MIT license, in software you can just leave the license header in the source files untouched and don't need to make a copy of the license accessible to the end user. Is that right so far? If so, how does it apply to the images distributed as part of software under this license? How do I acknowledge the license the right way?
