I actually replaced WTFPL with Unlicense since someone at google couldn't use it, so I would think it's ok?


Any reason you can't use MIT.

For hobbyist projects Unlicense is great, but it may create issues with bigger companies. I think the main sticking point, is public domain that doesn't really exist in countries like Germany, so the unlicensed is unclear. Companies don't like unclear things.

Facebook uses MIT, and their tools like React and Jest are cornerstones of the NodeJS ecosystem.
