haha. Welp it only becomes an issue if your software doesn’t get audited. I worked in medical and government so it might be a different world where your at. We literally cant use certain software given licenses and such. It can get a bit loony.
Im not defending it, just saying that MIT is one of those that you can get away with a lot more than other licenses. And that might be an issue to some.

I can’t speak for medical field… but a more serious topic, in example videogames. :D I think sometimes GPL can be in the way, so it is a tradeoff. In example if you use proprietary Steam features in your game, then you cannot build the game with GPL libraries and code, because that is not compatible with proprietary code. For some that is exactly what the GPL is set to do, for others its hindering games and other software to be released on Steam with Steam features. That means, its impossible to sell GPL software on Steam, if you want to use any of those features (I think in example Achievements and online save files in example). MIT would solve this issue.
