Deprecation Notice: MIT and BSD licenses

The headline is poor (and misleading), so I understand negative reactions to this.

But I enjoyed the opinionated nature of the post by someone who understands licensing, the clear descriptions of the problems with existing solutions, and that the author has done a lot of work to create something that he perceives addresses those problems.

I was but one lawyer putting hard work into this project. I'm proud of my role, but can't stress enough that I was just one contributor.

Thank you! Your article made that clear, so apologies for my unclear wording.

The headline was misleading and the text would have been better by being up front that it was an advert (and the author really didn't need so many links to Blue Oak).

For a different take see Mitchell's line by line analysis of MIT: https://writing.kemitchell.com/2016/09/21/MIT-License-Line-b...
