Who, exactly? I think most don’t care, and big corps love the MIT license

Don’t they love them all? Free software in general is nice, PS3 ran Linux, was based on BSD, and I’m sure they used MIT software somewhere there too.

Big corps love permissive licenses; they do not love all open source licenses, such as AGPL.

I never heard of it, and I never seen it being used, whats a big project that uses it?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon_(software) would be one major example

Doesn't Microsoft love using Linux for azure, and contributes to it heavily in code and money? Using binary blobs is how they can get around others using their contributions, and it seems like copilot has made a mockery of all the licenses anyway.

Oh interesting, looks like it was forked by corporations though including Trump's Truth Media, and Gab, and Truth Media just shows the boilerplate github source code. To me it still seems they love all free code.
