Hi Anon,

Thanks for your deligence and for caring about the copyright status of
packages. Unfortunately, this is just a misreading of what "without fee"
applies to.
Or, putting it another way, if this meant that one could not sell the
software, then nothing that is MIT-licensed [0] would be in "main". :)
