I disagree. I personally would prefer to license the code I write myself with a GPL copyleft or a 'no commercial use' type of license. However, I license it instead under MIT, specifically to make sure that your average corporate user will be ok using it because:

1. I would prefer that it be widely used. Not because I am seeking clout or advancement, but because that's why I share it. 2. Sharing benefits everyone, including me. Fragmentation and bureaucracy harms everyone, including me. 3. I don't support monopolistic practices by large tech, but this is not the way to stop them. What we had before widespread free software was worse than it is now, arguably held back human progress for years, and didn't stop Microsoft one bit.
