It is literally the only violation that the license is concerned with therefore it is major!!!

MIT and BSD type licenses say you can do almost anything you want, but just don't plagiarize, because that would be intellectual misconduct.

In addition to not just removing the copyright notice from sources, the MIT license requires the copyright notice to be present in all derived works. It makes no mention that if you compile a program, the binaries don't have to have copyright notices.
