@DLC That's a good question. If I had to guess I would go for the common misconception of:
- "MIT is less restrictive so It gives more freedom".
And the fallacy:
- "The more freedom the more fair; the more fair the more moral".
All of this just to end up with the so common result of: "They took my code and bundled it into a private toolchain used to [insert the most unethical use possible] and they are harming thousands of people with it while making a profit"
This is often done with the objective of performing the following "flex" maneuver in their CVs: "The code I wrote for my library ended up being used by [evil company] and thats amazing!"
> Remember folks that some people were indoctrinated into thinking that serving evil companies is something to be proud of.
Such are the wonders of "Freedom as in MIT"
