What's good about being "permissive"?
I keep hearing this argument, but I still don't understand, what's the incentive for authors of one-man projects to choose anything "permissive".
Do you enjoy your project getting forked, walled off and exploited for profit by someone who has never done you any good?
AGPLv3 still allows forking, still allows making profit (if your business model is sane). But it is at least backed by some prominent figures and organizations, and there are precedents where companies were forced to comply.
