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

That's the quote in question, isn't it? Where does that say that it no 
longer applies to generated binaries?

(When I include MIT dependencies myself I tend to interpret it as notice 
both in the source and at runtime, since I personally can't make much 
sense of it. So I tend to go with what I hope will avoid me trouble, as 
a completely uninformed person. Needless to say, please don't interpret 
anything I say as legal advice.)
