Exactly this. I have a couple of small projects that are MIT licensed specifically because I don't care how people use them or what they use them for. If someone finds it useful then they're welcome to do whatever they want with it.

This idea that I'm being somehow hoodwinked or taken advantage of because the thing that I explicitly said could be used freely is being used in a way that doesn't align with the values of some other completely uninvolved third party is beyond absurd.

I've always found it funny that GPL is considered "free as in freedom" but you don't have the freedom to use it in your own way if it's proprietary code.
