You can take MIT-licensed software and sell it to people without providing source, and you don't have to place your modifications under the same license; you can place them under a heavily restrictive EULA. If that's not "selling in a proprietary way", could you please explain what you mean by that? (You can never take someone else's work, place restrictions on it and sell it. Nobody but the copyright holder has the ability to do that; if a work is in the public domain, nobody can. You can only place restrictions on your modifications, which the MIT license allows you to do.) The MIT license is in no way a copyleft. -- Glenn Maynard
