What's the most widely used license type when it comes to OSS software?



MIT, according to this old github blog: https://github.blog/2015-03-09-open-source-license-usage-on-...

Might be because https://choosealicense.com/ recommends MIT license.


MIT and Apache 2.0, I think. They're both very permissive. You can both use the software as a library or create derivative works without needing to open your source or change your licensing. IANAL, though.
