The MIT license has become popular in software development but I see it as possibly one of the worst licenses to ever exist, and I will explain why.
The software movement is made up of volunteer developers who have the best intentions and who create amazing software and then release it freely to anyone for any purpose.
I’m not a lawyer, but the argument I always hear is that the Creative Commons licenses don’t directly say anything about software and don’t cover any of the unique ways in which software can be used. If you were to use a creative commons license on your code, it’d be mostly up to interpretation how the more abstract language of “works” applies to it, which is something that hasn’t (to my knowledge) been decided in a court
