No.  Read the FSF's page on licenses:

   X11 License (#X11License)
...
           This license is sometimes called the MIT license, but that term is
           misleading, since MIT has used many licenses for software.

Never use the term "MIT license", it's ambiguous, and I doubt that such
a term (given the above) would stand up in a court of law as identifying
any particular license.
