I want to make the far-reaching conclusion that even if something is MIT-licensed, because it was able to be developed and openly licensed and released to the public, at minimum the derived work must also be open (not MIT).
- gus_massa 4y agoNote that no every MIT-licensed project was developed by a big community or used public funds. Some are a minor project of a profesor in a private university, some are the code of an undergraduate thesis, some are just a weekend side project. In many cases people don't care too much about what other people does with the code and release it with a permissive license. If someone want their code to be used only in open source project, just use GPL or AGPL.
