Have you considered a more permissive license, like Apache/MIT/BSD?
Why wouldn't MIT or BSD License be closer?
Use a license that doesn't allow it then.Not everything needs to be mit or gnu.
Simply don't shy away from copyleft licenses. MIT has its uses, but GPL is there for you too.
Might help to give it a well known open source license e.g. BSD, MIT, Apache
Why not the MIT or BSD license? It would be more useful for other developers.
Like BSD or MIT licenses? That would be great.
Yes MIT is a very permissible license, the only requirement is to include it & you can do practically anything. But they didn't even do that so I'm not sure how a different license would help?
The other big thing iirc is they’re all MIT licensed rather than GPL(et variants) licensed
Don't use that license, use something similar like MIT, BSD or Apache instead.
