The appropriate and neutral term to describe GPL licence is "recursive".

GPL licence was designed to build a better computing community, where freedom is 1st consideration, even at the expense of a lower acceptance.

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.

So my question to you. What words would you use instead of viral and infection that equally describe that characteristic of the GPL and variants?
