I used to select MIT primarily to keep my name associated with the code. The idea being if companies picked up my projects and used them in their products, it would be a good thing to have on my resume, and could land me a job.
I’m at a very difficult point in my career now, and the days of this xkcd are probably coming to an end. Nobody wants to use libraries anymore, they just vibe-code their own.
Now I’m reconsidering publishing my personal project source code at all, because I’ve rarely got contributions, and lets be real, a non-commercial license won’t stop the code being stolen anyway.

So basically, you’re showing potential employers that you’re not too strict with your code on corporations? I see what you mean. I also wish you the best of luck, btw.

That’s interesting… I hadn’t equated the rise of supply chain vulnerabilities with a decline in interest in package management… That said I’m in a role that hasn’t gone hog to the wall for AI vibe coded slop so… that might be why. I wonder what the future for security scanners looks like when they can no longer just flag individual packages
