- icebraining 15y agoYou could also consider the MPL 2.0. It features file-based copyleft, meaning anyone who changes the files you're distributing has to redistribute their changes, but they can be used in a proprietary work without forcing the distribution of the source of any other file. MIT is more widely known and understood, though.
