AGPL is better to force companies. I used to be a “Whatever” MIT guy, but I’m fed up with leeches that don’t participate or contribute, and now all my projects are in the “Fuck you” AGPL license.
It’s a mix of AI, the realization that some companies are leeches, and that the purpose of the GPL is to give freedom back to the users. It became important to me for some reason.
I switched from “I don’t care if you use it” to “I don’t care if you can’t use it due to the license, because you abused the system and I’m fed up now.”
GPLv3 to prevent commercial use without payment otherwise whatever.

I wasn’t aware. Thanks!
I’m still a “whatever” MIT guy… or, more lately, 3-Clause BSD.
What changed your mind? Did you catch leaches, or suspect someone of leeching?

Good reason.
I’m not sure if any of the GPLs are my ethic, but maybe I’d better review my default of grabbing the BSD license.
I want a license that forces moneymakers to have to pay. In absence thereof, AGPL and GPL FTW.
Anti Commercial-AI license
