A few people pointed out that many rust projects were MIT licensed and since then I indeed have seen MIT licensed projects everywhere in Rust. Then I found the link of this post and it looks like MIT was by far the most popular license in all of opensource in 2023.
Any ideas why?
those are less permissive. mit license says “you want to make a new version and sell it? go ahead! be my guest” think of it as being the apache license with fewer words
You can sell GPL software, even without any changes. The less permission part would be “You want to close-source it and not contribute back? Go ahead!”
