The Unlicense is an inferior license wrapped in an atrocious name

You publish open source code so that others can benefit from it, and if Google uses it maybe billions of people will benefit from it, so I disagree.

Everyone has different reason to publish their code using open-source license. I like sharing my code but I don't like when multi-billion dollar company make a profit from it for example. Ofc, that's what I agreed to when I release my code under open-source license, but we are all free to have different sentiment about it.

This is an individual choice; people have motivations beyond "maximize usage of my code".
