Rony,

I think your understanding is correct but it needs a few comments.

Here is IMO one of best and short explanation of what MIT license
allows to do with the project:

http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?Boost_License/MIT_License

Summarizing:
- you are allowed copy, use and modify the WCELIBCEX for any use
- you're required to preserve license/copyright notice in all copies of
WCELIBCEX files


Cheers
