When I publish something under MIT/ISC, it's generally, I wrote this to solve a problem/need, if anyone else finds it useful, cool. Use it for whatever you like.

If I'm writing something I intend or might intend to monetize later or otherwise don't want to have privatized, I'll probably reach for GPLv3, AGPL or a different license. The less "whole" a thing is, the more likely I'm going to use a more permissive license than not. Libraries or snippets of code are almost always going to be permissive at least from me. This includes relatively simple CLI utils.
