License vote

[carbon-starlight]

Starting this project, I decided to go with a most wide-spread permissive MIT license. Its benefits and drawbacks are known:

Permissive / PDEq (e.g. MIT, Apache, Unlicense, CC0):

• Maximizes adoption, code more likely to help with other projects
• Many corporations (e.g. Google) have policies preventing employees from contributing to projects with copyleft licenses and avoid using them

Copyleft (e.g. AGPL):

• Prevents proprietary projects from making proprietary forks (IDK how much does it apply to my niche project)
• If a fork of this project will be made utilizing a copyleft (or a proprietary) license, we will no longer be able to take developments from them

I am comprehending switching to a copyleft license. Please, comment your arguments for one or another side below.

To participate in a poll, paste the following form into your comment:

[ ] Change to AGPL
[ ] Change to Apache to preserve name integrity
[ ] Leave MIT
[ ] Dedicate to public domain (e.g. Unlicense)

Replace each space between the square brackets with a digit from 1 to 4, with 1 being for the most desirable choice and 4 — for the least desirable one. The winner will be determined using instant-runoff voting.
