We are not going to enumerate all of them, even if somebody may expect that their company might support one or more of these options. To be totally clear, I did *not* intend to explicitly advocate for MIT license, either on my own behalf or on behalf of Apple. I drew the distinction because I wanted to avoid a situation where a question would say "CC0 or MIT", which would be hard for Apple to respond to. Regards, Maciej
