> From the linked MIT article…

Just a reminder that that magazine has no connection to MIT. It simply licenses the name from the alumni association (which is how the association funds itself).

Isn’t MIT Technology Review published by a company owned by MIT?

http://web.mit.edu/fnl/MITPublications/ lists Technology Review as a publication of MIT.

I think that may be outdated information.

The terms of service states that it is independent of but owned by MIT.

From what I gather, there was a relaunch in 1998, and MIT has owned it since 2001. In general, I’d be extremely surprised if MIT ever just licensed its name out.
