This post is a great example why the choice of a license matters. You never know what your code will evolve into, so why give away your countless hours to a company/3rdparty that does not really care (aws, msft, goog, etc). License matters and large companies would not risk litigation and even if they do, that would be a great way to earn money down the road for the copyright holder. The only FOMO with MIT is that your code will prob not gonna be easily used by 3rd parties in production which would diminish the popularity effect. On the other hand, I think that code has more value if it uses a copyleft license and I am much more inclined to contribute to it.
