So you really didn’t want any use. You just wanted the use you found acceptable? So you didn’t really want it to be “open”

I didn't foresee it, i do not object to it, and probably would not have had i known beforehand.

Code i dont want others to use I dont publish.

I only work on open source code that I either am getting paid for or that I have gotten paid for in the past, I genericized and gone through my employer’s very straightforward open source process.

By default the license we use is MIT. If I ever did for some reason choose to open source my own work, it would be a similar license.

I don’t like the idea of claiming something is “open” and then placing restrictions on it.
