Possible to get sued for using MIT licensed OSS?

1•thereeldeel•3h ago
Only Apache 2.0 license guarantees that the licensee doesn't get sued for patent infringement.

Why do majority of open source startups (licensors) use MIT license? Is it that that they want to keep the option of suing, on the basis of patent infringement, open?

So, to be safer no licensee should use code from a MIT licensed project, right?

It can't guarantee that. You could be sued by anyone for patent infringement, regardless of the licence from the copyright holder of the source code.
