Honestly, I'm no big fan of strongly copyleft licenses, especially AGPL. In
addition to scaring off corporate users (yes, even soulless for-profit
drones deserve the right to use FLOSS), it creates a lot of uncertainty
even for open source users. I would personally prefer something much
permissive like MIT style.
The GPL does not stop companies from using open source software. It only stops them from
modifying open source software and then making it proprietary. There’s no way we’re going
to switch to a license like MIT that does not actually support the free software movement.
(Also, we actually can’t switch to the MIT license without express permissions from every
developer who ever contributed to core anyway.)
