Open source drama Memes

The classic developer duality: "Sure, use my MIT-licensed code for anything you want!" followed by the existential crisis when someone actually does. It's like putting a "Free, take one" sign on your code and then having a meltdown when someone actually takes it. The MIT license is basically saying "here's my code, do whatever, just don't sue me" - until the theoretical becomes practical and suddenly you're questioning all your life choices. Nothing says "open source contributor" like the cognitive dissonance of wanting your work used while simultaneously feeling violated when it happens.

The classic developer hypocrisy in its natural habitat! We're all for permissive licensing until someone actually exercises those permissions. "Sure, use my MIT-licensed code for anything... wait, you're SELLING it? With a different NAME?! How DARE you do exactly what I explicitly allowed!" The cognitive dissonance hits harder than a production bug on Friday afternoon. The MIT license is basically saying "do whatever you want" but our egos still can't handle seeing our precious code in someone else's commercial product. We want the street cred without the consequences of our licensing choices.
