    I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one who feels that way. I use GPL3.0 and AGPL3.0 exclusively. AGPL for anything that makes sense. Anything that’ll be used over a network, basically. And GPL for things that aren’t used over a network.

    There are things I wish in retrospect I’d made AGPL rather than GPL. But I think copyleft is a fuckin’ great thing that ought to be used more. For non-code works (3d-printable models, mostly), I also like the Creative Commons share alike licenses. I usually go for CC BY-SA. I’m fine with commercial use mostly as long as it’s only used in things that aren’t going to deprive the end user of the same rights that the seller got from me. And I very much want to encourage remixes/derivative works.

      Whenever I’m started anything new, I just go AGPL without even thinking about it. If I later change my mind and think GPL or LGPL or BSD or something would be more appropriate later, I can always change it (though I’ve never found a need to), but you can’t really go the other way. If you start permissive, that’s just out there, forever.
