MIT License on everything from now on. It doesn't make sense to use anything else, except for a few large projects that hyperscalers exploit and not give back 

If you were making money from a niche app, open source it under MIT License

If you had an open source project with GPT, convert it into MIT

Extreme involution is about to hit open source. Code is virtually free now. If you want your projects and their brand to survive, the only rational strategy is to remove all barriers in front of their adoption, and look for other ways to survive
