A lot of people are scared of GPL and other copyleft licenses, mostly because of how most big corporations treat GPL.

Also, MIT license in particular is much shorter and easier to understand for a non-lawyer, than most other software licenses.

I suspect that any corporation that prohibit GPL will prohibit BearLicence as well. Those usually have a list of approved licenses.
