You are attributing a general trend to a particular language community. I also believe that you are unjustifiably unfairly interpreting “default license” just because you disagree with what they think the “default license” is. We all know what is means by this. It just sounds like you think it should be something GPL

No, you're guessing what I'm thinking. I'm telling you that a person I spoke to TOLD ME verbatim "I chose MIT because it's the default lincense". I'm not guessing that's what they did, that's what they TOLD ME. Do you understand the concept or literally telling someone something?
