You're confusing the license and expressed wishes.
Personally I will always use MIT license whenever I can. Regardless I
think it's good manners to include the source, and more true to the
original intent why it's MIT licensed.
If you don't do as I please, I'll continue expressing my disagreement,
nothing more than that. You're as usual free to ignore it.
License is coercion. I don't like that.

GPL has never done anything for me, why should I do anything for them?

Hahaha. Everything I say here is just my personal opinion, not some
fucking official 9front foundation official political theater. And you
misunderstood it completely. I guess you really like legalese, and you
thus never managed to think for even one second about the philosophy
and intent behind the license.

I never doubted your intent either. Given that you're trying to use
this for education already gave you max. points for first impression.
Doesn't mean I won't technically disagree. Make with it what you will.
