Should I choose MIT or BSD 3-Clause for my engine? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hello everyone.

I'm developing an open-source visual novel engine. And I'm struggling to choose between the two licenses: MIT and BSD 3-Clause. I wasn't much about licenses until this moment, so I have to ask someone else. Which one should I pick and why, if someone knows?

Thank you in advance.

Do you mean that without GPL my access to my own project can vanish?

    Your access to a popular and commercial fork might be non-existent. You would maybe not even mind that they're selling your code - possibly just wanting to tune it a bit, since you know how it used to work. But the fork can decide they're proprietary and they won't give you any source code.
