MIT License

Hopefully, you learned your lesson.

Yeah, well. What should I say. I wanted to use it in a commercial project, too :)

You can use your library for commercial projects that you have. Just have dual license that requires payment for commercial use or something similar. You don't have to pay yourself

To be honest, I wasn’t aware of this option when I wrote this library. Nowadays I would chose this path.

I think that's why Github suggests MIT as default. Unaware people will just put that. Most open source people just code things they want without thinking much on other aspects. We really need some sort of enforcement to stop companies banking on voluntary work done for the community.
