    What’s wrong specifically with the MIT and/or the Apache license? AFAIK they are still libre licenses.

      Licenses that are too permissive let companies take advantage of you. They fork your code, throw tons of resources at it, and close it off.

      Without forcing them to keep everything open source like the gpl does, its basically a giant free labor sign.

      No Copyleft.

      Apache has the advantage at least of Patent protection (I dont know how to call this to be exact) but for that, it is preferable a LGPL or MPL which are compatible with most, if not all, other licenses and still Copyleft (weak but Copyleft).
