    Any “Decentralized” Solution that is not F.O.S. free and opensource was never “Decentralized” at all.

        MIT≠FOS

        GNU is Free and forever free software… MIT not so much.

        https://fossbytes.com/open-sources-license-type/

        Point being, any forks of GNU will have a free version available, MIT carries no such limitation… making it a corpo favorite.

        You can call it open source, but Free and Open source is questionable.

          I feel like we’re splitting hairs here. MIT is an extremely permissible license. The fact someone could take this and make a closed source fork doesn’t affect the existence or openness of the MIT licensed releases
