@Geoff - automatic in the sense of legal attributing only, yes? It looks like in the MIT license link, that there should be a copyright line with authors and dates in there... In the 2.2 code (compressed or uncompressed, there is only the license type, not copyright info)
I am not an expert in this what so ever though, so I could be misinterpreting. We can take this offline to discuss further.
