MIT license comes with conditions of use stating use of any of your snippets (of which people are likely going to copy some not all) must include the license and copyright notice:

As such, it would be a good idea for you to:

  • Drop the copyright notice and license into each of the files, or;
  • Provide clear usage instructions in the README.

Of course you don't have to do any of this. But it would be nice to prevent others from potentially copying this work without the attribution required by your license.

I see a lot of people—even those with years of experience—get this wrong so no worries. Should you decide to do nothing that's fine too just don't expect to see attributions based on your license when the shortcodes included here are ultimately copied by others without meeting the conditions.

There are, of course, other licenses which do not come with the conditions of the MIT license. Ultimately BlackDuck will know so you don't have to. ;)
