Personal solo side projects that I'm just hacking on, I use MIT mostly because it seems simple. If someone wants to use or fork my software, I don't really care how or what they're doing with it.
None of my projects address significant enough space that I would figure they're being incorporated into anything of business value anyways.
If I have a GPL dependency, then I license it GPL. I would probably use GPL or Apache if I ever was working on a project that I actually thought would provide business value to someone or was going to grow any kind of community around it besides me.
I'd like attribution just because that seems nice, but I don't have the time or desire to figure out or enforce something like GPL.
- SamWhited 8y agoThanks! I tend to agree with this reasoning and it's why I chose BSD (which is basically the same thing except it has a bulleted list of its requirements, which I liked). Is there a version of MIT+Patents or ISC+Patents or similar I wonder?
