but that doesn't change the legal reality of what can be legally considered "official" in da real world mon.

The point of my post was simply that the forum perpetuates a legal falsehood that there exists an official Bitcoin in the legal sense of the word and the MIT/X11 License was cited for that point.

"official" in da real world maybe not, but "official" in de facto sense, yes:  Bitcoin SHA-256 is de facto bitcoin.  

e.g. USA has no de jure 'officlal' language, but that doesn't mean you can ask for your 1040 tax form in Japanese.
