I am almost always a supporter of MIT licenses, but they're right. It's not
AGPL, which means you can build your commercial web-based applications on
it. And even if you need to "distribute" some portion of it to the client,
serving it from a CDN and your application code separately will cover this
(Meteor becomes a library)
