Not to be mean, but if you don't like the consequences of using an MIT license then don't use it.

Using it then complaining about its effects because you don't like the company is silly.

Use a different license if this is important to you.

Well, yes, that seems to be the conclusion OP has come to.

Too late though. They can keep using the code he wrote before. He’d have to rearchitect it to add new features to even make it sting now.
