Well, that is like, your opinion man.

Ok. Obviously different licenses are useful in different circumstances. So, what you are saying is clearly true.

That said, even though the MIT license is the most used license I believe, I wish MIT was used more and GPL less.

I do not want to create or get drawn into a debate ( because we likely have the same facts and just disagree ) but what I dislike about the GPL is that does not respect freedom—specifically developer freedom. It constrains freedom and hopes that what it calls “the 4 freedoms” are a side effect. In my view, the GPL restricts freedom to bestow rights ( a net negative for freedom ).

My opinion is no more valuable than yours. We do not have to convince each other. I am just explaining my view.

Don’t get me wrong, the ability of the original author to choose the GPL is something I totally support. It is a totally valid constraint to place on people that want to use your code. A developer should get to choose the terms under which people can use their code. It is exactly this freedom that the GPL restricts. Again, I think this is totally ok ( as would be demanding money ) but it is certainly a restriction which, by definition, is not freedom.
