The MIT license has become popular in software development but I see it as possibly one of the worst licenses to ever exist, and I will explain why.
The software movement is made up of volunteer developers who have the best intentions and who create amazing software and then release it freely to anyone for any purpose.
Disappointed by the article as it doesn’t really compare MIT with anything comparable.
Yes, if you wanted a copyleft license then MIT is a poor fit because it is not one. But if all you want to do is rehash the GPL vs. permissive licenses why single out MIT specifically out of the breadth of of other permissive open-source licenses?

At the very least the title is misleading.
