I’m just spit balling here, but it sounds like problematic brand association to me. I could see how someone might think that would mean any code written by or for AWS uses this license. Maybe in MIT’s case that’s not as problematic? But tbh, I’m on my phone atm and I don’t know much about the MIT license’s history or origin. Are most developers bad at licenses? I’m feeling pretty naïve right now.

Anecdotal but the majority of developers I run into have no true understanding of a majority of software licenses, if any at all. In my younger years I sat down with a developer who did know and got a summary about literally every license I could think of, and its still stuck in my head since. I feel like colleges should really cover them in some capacity with examples of lawsuits related to licensing disputes.
