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?

    What a stupid argument, that’s literally only thing the license asks, is to keep the original license and not sue them because you shot at your own dick.

    It doesn’t change in any way or form how you can use the software though

      Isn’t it to keep the copyright notice and not the license itself? I.e, you may redistribute it with a different license term and conditions but the copyright notice must be retained. I don’t know how different it is tho in legal speak. Maybe they are equivalent.
