Happy to go with MIT.

Fun fact: The reason posthog.com isn't MIT, is that we had people (specifically, other open core companies, with similar investors and potentially similar customers) fork our repo to create their own startup (fair play though!), and an important part of our web design is to differentiate us.

That's great!

How about CC BY 4.0 to give the freedom of use but there's also some attribution?
