There's nothing insane about MIT. It may not be your preference, but that's not the same as insane. | ||

other licenses being more sane doesn't imply MIT is _insane_ per se. It's just not a very sane option for cooperation and has a very real posibility of driving someone insane. Imagine working on redoxos for years with your friends and then Microsoft takes your work, rebrands it as Windows 19, completely steals all of the market from you and silences you through legal pressure without even crediting your work. All of this is very much possible and similar scenarios have happened before. MIT is for education not cooperation. | ||

I am not native speaker but saying something is more sane doesn't mean the person means/thinks other option is insane (which is the extreme on the scale). It can mean both of the options might be sane (reasonable) one is just more reasonable. It might also mean both of the options are insane (unreasonable) one is just less so. | ||
