        The Wikipedia link you provide here for copyleft does not say that permissive licenses are a subset of copyleft licenses, but rather contrasts the two categories.

        If you check Wikipedia’s Copyleft software licenses category, you’ll see MIT is absent.

        The Wikipedia link you provide for permissive states:
