   > @joewitt Earlier you had advised to use the MIT license for the generated 
software from the Kaitai Project. We have changed the code (i.e. removed some 
of the generated code, placed in its own classes, added variables, removed 
variables, used different methods than the generate code etc.) Should these 
changed classes still have the MIT license or should we use the Apache license 
and mention in the NOTICE file the derived classes are from the Kaitai Project 
which has an MIT license?
   
   This trends towards the i'm not a lawyer space but i'd say it this way....
   
   If the code is started from a substantial block of MIT code and chose to 
decompose it and improve it various ways I'd keep the resulting code that 
stemmed from that original as MIT as well.  We don't really gain much by trying 
to claim it is ASLv2 and/or under the apache copyright anyway so better to be 
safe here and keep its original provenance clear.
