I'd like to learn more about the dual license "MIT OR Apache-2.0": is there any practical advantage of using one over the other? Are there any expected use cases where Apache-2.0 wouldn't be appropriate but MIT would?

I had always assumed that if the time came to choose a permissive OSS license, I'd just go with Apache-2.0 for the more complete legal ground that it provides (especially wrt. patents). Didn't even occur to me that it would as much as make sense to offer MIT too (like, why not also BSD now that we're at it?)
