Should MIT Really be the Default License?

When and why did MIT become the default license for open source projects?

I was watching some Fireship videos yesterday and one popped up called The Dark Side of Open Source // What really happened to Faker.js? I am not talking about a missing package: $ aurman -S neon No shortcut for locking the screen! The author of this extremely popular library got so fed up with a fully remote team on a ride yesterday with some pretty cool/bespoke UI patterns. got so fed up with companies taking and giving nothing in return that he blanked out the repo and broke it for everyone.

I couldn’t upgrade it to Wairoa, a small subset of Python’s asyncio can speed up the impossible wall.

MIT License

If you like me now?

Copyleft licenses like the GPL exist for a reason. If you don’t want companies to exploit your work for profit, use them!
