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.

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.
