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.

That's understandable, though one of the other commenters suggested the LGPL which might make for a good fit for your case. Here's a comparison with the other two if you're interested.

The AGPL is just the GPL with extra rules requiring sharing the code even if you expose it exclusively via a service.

Okay, thanks for the advice. LGPL might be a good option, I'll look into it.
