@shoq @atomicpoet @davetroy there's nothing shady about an MIT license. Mastodon has already been used in this way (Truth Social, and more). This is an issue with bad actors with bad intentions, not the MIT license.
@gr0k @atomicpoet @davetroy I never said the MIT license was bad. But it can be abused, in precisely the way I suggest. It's happened many times.

@shoq @atomicpoet @davetroy You did specifically call it out tho. Is there a better license they might have used to lesson your suspicion? It seems to me when there's bad actors (and like you I do think BlueSky are smelly actors) they will be bad regardless of the license. The MIT is a net positive for humanity.
