I've been searching a lot recently about open licenses, because of college work, but now I want to release some personal stuff and I want to know just what can be licensed with a MIT license.

Most licenses are about software, but a website lists the MIT license to release open source hardware, by modifying the "obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software")" part to "obtaining a copy of this hardware, software, and associated documentation files (the "Product")". Does that mean I could release other products under the MIT license by making the appropriate changes, like pictures, music, etc?

I've searched a bit about this specific question and found nothing.

Thanks in advance.

What kinds of products can I release under a MIT License?
