I'm not trying to say that some licenses are better than others. They just have different implications. And I often see that people fail to properly think about those. Yes, MIT implies that anyone can just take your code and run with it. But so can you.

APGL on the other hand requires more upfront thought about how you're going to organize the project in general and what you might do with it later on.

With the MIT license you must still keep the copyright notice in the source files.

So no changing the license per say. But no way from a binary to tell if this has been adhered to.

You can distribute derivatives under a different, compatible license, and almost everything is compatible with the MITL.
