Is not what I said. I said that if you don't want to give away your work, buy a commercial license.

That is exactly whats GPL says. License the work on the same terms and everyone is happy. License the work on different terms which prohibit sharing and modifications, and everyone gets unhappy.
The whole point of licensing something under MIT is so others can put their modified works under different terms.

Most of us (in the JavaScript community) license work using MIT or ISC. I expect others to do the same. Sorry if that was unclear.

I license things under the MIT so that people don't have to OSS their apps that links against it, which I don't consider modified works.
Then you could use the LGPL license. Consider the advantages of, for instance, its patent grants.
