This bullet doesn't actually assign a default license for libraries. It should probably move to the Acceptable Licensing section. I would then either add a new bullet here to say what the default library license is, or make it explicit in the previous line that both libraries and scripts get the MIT license as default.

The code does this. ;)

Isolated legal redundancy here... so it should stay as it's own header.
to say what the default library license is
That can be achieved with a simple removal of "Users" in the prior li and doable... perhaps a change to "all". This area is vague in the CODE because we don't read the metadata which in turn makes it TOS applicable.
Thanks for the feedback.
* Must include the name of the OSI approved license in the Source Code either via key, header or full text Applies to OpenUserJS#278 Auto-merging
Finish off Acceptable Licensing header Auto-merging so we can use this... doesn't affect any of our site code.
Closes #56 and Closes #116
