The DHTMLX Gantt Community Edition, a free JavaScript Gantt chart built under the MIT license, aligns with findings that MIT licensing now underpins 92% of commercial software codebases, making permissive licenses the dominant force in open source adoption.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Developer Tools and Enterprise Software.

You face fewer legal and procurement blockers now that permissive MIT licenses dominate software. If you build developer tools or embed code, releasing under MIT can open enterprise adoption doors quickly.
