  • I still feel like, the point where you say more people can use it and will use it, can create a dark pattern.

    Imagine you create something and make people depending on it. Another cooperation copies it and advances it with a lot of money. Somehow, the ecosystem is so changed, that when you depend on that project, you need to use the newer version of the cooperation and soon they will paywall it heavily.

    Then, your wish for people using the code as much as possible got nuked.

    I assume that many scenarios will allow the usage of your old MIT project without relying on the new version of someone. But rare cases exist, where this happens. Its like predicting the 30th step in chess or smth. (Idk chess that well)

    Its… unlikely that it will happen, but yeah. I can understand your perspective, but slowly going to AGPL sounds right.
