In Tiki, there has been such discussions as well. https://tiki.org/License But yeah, MIT license is the best thing :-) Phil On Wed, Sep 7, 2016 at 12:25 AM, Hernán Morales Durand < hernan.morales@gmail.com> wrote:
I thought for a while about the license.
Fixing the ASP loophole means trying to escape from companies using a trick to avoid returning changes to the code back to the community[1]. I agree with such position. GNU AGPL is free, copyleft, approved by OSI, FSF, and used by successful projects : MongoDB, SugarCRM, OTRS, etc. If anyone want to discuss collaboration or re-licensing, for example to monetize library services, feel free to contact me privately.

Hi Hernán,
I believe Stef was asking about the choice of picking a viral license vs the permissive MIT one that we use in code that gets into Pharo (and several other larger related projects).
Cheers, Doru

Hi Stef,
I used the License Differentiator tool at http://oss-watch.ac.uk/apps/licdiff/
I like it because it fixes the 'ASP (application service provider) loophole' or 'privacy loophole' problem (See Choice Six in the tool)

why do you picked AGPL? We try to protect our community against license hell. Stef Le 6/9/16 à 11:40, Hernán Morales Durand a écrit :

I am happy to announce the release of Territorial, a new Smalltalk library for Geographical Information Retrieval in geopolitical objects.
Nice. Please tell us about your license choice
License of the library is AGPL v3 (it is in the Notes and disclaimers
of the manual)
License of the documentation is CC BY-SA 3.0
Cheers,
