Could you please take my question at face value? > I chose to do it for free to help other people. And picking a MIT license does the opposite. I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. I want to help other people, then giving them the means to do what they want with no real restrictions is "the opposite" of that? > Companies that want to take without giving back So this is not about helping anyone else, but about mandating a behavior, even if that behavior is "pay it forward".
