I'm sorry to say it but you will just end up feeling alone. I wish that
someone will ask you to have a non GPL license
but I have serious doubts that it will happen. If it does not happen
remember that it is not the fault of the communaute.
Now if you are looking for extra paid jobs to do let us know.
We won the battle of the license after years with the SqueakL and can
tell you that GPL is a BIG sign for me to say: the software does not exist.
This is not by accident that we picekd up MIT and yes you can take Pharo
and Moose and make the money you can with it.

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
