<div dir="ltr">FWIW I thought the zLib license was a good alternative for this use-case (e.g. sample code that you expect people to use, modify and you don't want to be attributed).

I hesitate to call them "the original author". Amazon independently "invented" MIT-0, and I didnt discover that prior one until I did the searches for adding MIT-0 to the SPDX list. It's an obvious modification to the license.<br>
