You must retain the notice and make it clear (at least by the name of the library) which code the MIT license terms apply to. You do not need to make the MIT license terms apply to the software as a whole. (If a license does require this, we call it a "copyleft" license. The MIT license is not a copyleft license.)

First, let me just say that I am not a lawyer, and all I can say on this topic is what I've found online, where non-lawyers tend to give out substantial quantities of bad advice, and there are few legal scholars volunteering free guidance. If anyone can post a more definitive answer to my questions, I will happily withdraw this and chose a better answer, ...
