You are attributing a general trend to a particular language community. I also believe that you are unjustifiably unfairly interpreting “default license” just because you disagree with what they think the “default license” is. We all know what is means by this. It just sounds like you think it should be something GPL

No, you're guessing what I'm thinking. I'm telling you that a person I spoke to TOLD ME verbatim "I chose MIT because it's the default lincense". I'm not guessing that's what they did, that's what they TOLD ME. Do you understand the concept or literally telling someone something?

FWIW I would absolutely say “MIT is the default license”. I also understand copyleft and personally would still choose MIT in general

I also like Rust, but the above would be true before I started using Rust (I agree it’s not a programming language thing)

The point is that this isn't unique to rust.
