I consider GNU AGPL v3 a fair license choice which protects somehow
authors. After some talks with friends today, I began to consider it
useless for a niche community like Smalltalk *and* solo projects. I then
read all your mails, many posts in other communities, and finally asked for
advices. Conclusion: The ideal license option for me was not yet invented.

Now about parasite behavior and easy living for freeloaders.

- I doubt Smalltalkers are in position for doing anything valuable against
parasites. GPL scares a niche community. All of us having MIT code
published can be stealed and we have no legal options to defend our
work/authorship. That should be addressed one day.

- However, I would like one day to read people releasing software under
whatever license they want and not to be pointed them. That's a matter of
freedom. I feel we are far away from there.

- I hope we can talk about interesting Territorial features, what do you
need, what could be modeled better, etc. Licensing is boring, really.

I re-licensed Territorial to MIT for the nice Pharo people, for the nice
Smalltalkers, people who helped me here in mailing lists, or sending
supportive private messages, and for cool users with nice intentions.
