MIT is perfectly fine. Most people want something more copyleft to avoid corporate bs. I use GPLv3 to make sure my company doesn’t do anything dumb. GPLv2 and MIT are fine if you just want credit.

AGPL is also cool, but I normally see it used in client/server configurations to prevent people from hiding the useful stuff under a different service.

Anything OSI approved will at least protect you from anything. The other licenses I see floating around usually get in trouble for vague language that can be interpreted in unintended ways.

Here’s the big book of licenses if you feel like skimming: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html

Why recommend a license that isn’t OSI approved?

Unfortunately a large part of marketing is people believing that others do not wish to be informed about such things. They just want to see “number move in good direction.” The stats unfortunately prove that. Most marketing material now is basically lying through omission.

Eh, that may just promote a lot of “What are your opinions about x” posts where the first comment is the ad. Suppose it’s an open call to list alternatives though.
