That way, any reproduction of your work that wouldn't fall under fair use requires attribtuion. I'm not sure if the "substantial" part of the MIT license is the same scope as "fair use", but without that adjective, the BSD license might be more explicit about requiring attribution.I have had my own free software used in ways I don't like, but I don't write a blog post about it. After all, I made it free. You want to insult me, mock me, satirise me, print out the source code and wipe your butt with it; go ahead. That's part of what free software must allow.
Point is, require with legalese what you want people to do. It's your prerogative.
Above all, don't code call copying "stealing". This is not theft. It might not even be copyright infringement. Calling it "stealing" is undue indignation that indicates that they did something worse than what you explicitly allowed.

When I was a teenager I did something similar and was caught. I ripped off someone else's site design. The guy wasn't happy, but his response taught me a lot. I'm thankful he didn't put my name out there for the vigilantes of the internet to come calling and I learned to respect the work and creativity of others.
Just following the minimum requirements of a license may not be a nice thing to do, but if you're going to be upset because someone did something you said they could but that you didn't really want them too, I can't really sympathize.
