I have a project in which I included libraries of:Bootstrap v3.3.7 (http://getbootstrap.com) Licensed MIT jQuery v1.11.2 (jquery.org/license) Licensed MITjQuery UI v1.11.2 (http://jqueryui.com) Licensed MIT jQuery Validation Plugin v1.11.1 (https://github.com/jzaefferer/jquery-validation) Licensed MIT Tingle v0.11.0 (https://github.com/robinparisi/tingle) LicensedMIT Font Awesome 4.7.0 (http://fontawesome.io) Font: SIL OFL 1.1,CSS: MIT LicenseI am considering making the source public in a Bitbucket repo. But the question is: can I use the MIT license for my project? (All of them are MIT but the fonts of Font Awesome.)
Can I use the MIT license if I use Font Awesome (SIL OFL)?

Yes, the SIL OFL license grants you permission to redistribute those fonts. Remember, when you license your code (e.g. by placing a LICENSE.txt file in the root directory), you are only licensing your code of which you own the copyright. You do not own the copyright on any of the other libraries. Those libraries and fonts allow you to distribute them as you wish but are not giving you ownership of their copyright. To comply with their license, you must include each of their copyright notices in your repo (e.g. inside their respective folders or in the LICENSE.txt file, clearly stating which folder is covered by which copyright).
