It's the 2-clause BSD license that's (probably) compatible with the "MIT"
license. The MIT license doesn't include the non-endorsement clause which
Sophie has:
"Neither the name of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles
nor the names of its contributors may be used to endorse or promote
products derived from this software without specific prior written
permission."
So Sophie's license (3-clause BSD) is clearly not compatible with the MIT
license.
