no it very much isn't use without restriction - you must credit the the author and otherwise follow the licensee. I can't copy and republish code from the Nvidia driver leaks because those are copyrighted by Nvidia (unless I have permission from them). In the same way you cannot copy and republish code from a MIT project unless I have permission from them (via the MIT licensee).

But doesn't it say:

> The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

So that's a required attribution if you want to follow the MIT license?
