MIT and BSD are the corporate friendly licenses that say you can take my code and use it and even make it proprietary, as well. So long as you provide attribution, do whatever you want.
If that’s fine by you then choose that license. You can read little summaries here but be advised this page is owned by GitHub and they have an interest in seeing MIT and BSD adoption, so the language they use subtly reflects that IMO https://choosealicense.com/licenses/
Yeah, I've already read it. And yeah, the language is a bit biased, aside of the short explanations not covering too much as for me. So I should look somwehere else.
Nevertheless, thank you for the explanation!
