See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License, but essentially MIT corresponds to several licenses, including the X11 license, however, our COPYING file contains the Expat (or most common MIT license)...
Justification for this being OK:
As Expat is strictly more restrictive, and things can be relicensed under a strictly more restrictive license, we can clear up the uncertainty with this commit without needing callbacks from everyone defined under "The Bitcoin Core Developers".

Automatic sanity-testing: PASSED, see http://jenkins.bluematt.me/pull-tester/p4830_c6822d291cc4d5bbf2352c6d34326359826dd1e0/ for binaries and test log. This test script verifies pulls every time they are updated. It, however, dies sometimes and fails to test properly. If you are waiting on a test, please check timestamps to verify that the test.log is moving at http://jenkins.bluematt.me/pull-tester/current/ Contact BlueMatt on freenode if something looks broken.
Oops, had it backwards.
