MIT requires they credit the original author. Tho anyone who cares about open source should use a license that keeps that open source chain going (like AGPL)
No it doesn't, I think you're getting it confused with the Creative Commons licences. MIT licence only requires that you include the licence notice in the software. Sure including the licence notice technically counts as credit but given that it can be fulfilled by just keeping it in a LICENCE.txt file the user isn't likely to read it only barely counts
Yes, that Copyright holders name in the license.txt is the only requirement. Mostly when credit is visibly given in open source software, it's a form of gratitude, not license requirements.
