@divclassbutton On the other hand, the "Why AGPL" post makes for insightful reading, including the limitations of licenses against Service as a Software Substitute (SaaSS).

AGPL means that the behemoths have requirements if they want to use software licensed that way. This might be Kryptonite to them, but I don't know that that is a bad thing.

@tim_lavoie For sure AGPL3 is the best license, even if you don't care about the four freedoms.

1 - Unlike MIT, you are compatible with most other stuff, no need to worry about virality or derivative works, just set it and forget it.
2 - Because the only people using your stuff will be other hobbyist coders, you don't need to worry too much about backwards compatibility or support cycles or anything like that, tinker away breaking compatibility at will.
