Disappointed by the article as it doesn't really compare MIT with anything comparable. Yes, if you wanted a copyleft license then MIT is a poor fit because it is not one. But if all you want to do is rehash the GPL vs. permissive licenses why single out MIT specifically out of the breadth of of other permissive open-source licenses?

At the very least the title is misleading.
