I’m not sure but theres something in my mind bout MIT being the first suggested license for github.
and also, to be real, you need to do some reasearch and actually understand the GPL license if you want to use it for your project. But with MIT you can just slap it on there and forget. It’s convenient, but like a lot of conveniences, can be very bad.










The compatibility stuff really do need understanding.
You can’t use all other projects in your GPL project and your GPL project cant be used within every project.
permissive licenses really do have no compatibility since they forbid nothing and allow everything (which isnt good most of the time) so tgey are simpler to use.
