I am just stating the neutral term to describe GPL license nature is "recursive", and why it was designed as this. The "viral" term is unnecessary emotionally charged.
I don't fell the discussion turned about MIT vs GPL, Pharo been MIT is just fine.

And the little technical fact that you can't link code in the Smalltalk world, only create a derivative work, has nothing to do with the community stance on MIT versus GPL.
