Which GPL-like licence for object oriented?

Hello, I work on Pharo, an open source derivative of Smalltalk. Pharo is licensed under MIT hence most of my work needs to be licensed also under MIT.

However, time to time I have some projects in my free time that I made for my personal usage or for friends, and in those cases I am not OK with my work being used by for-profit project not giving anything back. I would very much prefer to use GPLv3 on those cases, but my understanding of licensing is very poor and I have been told there is a “virus” behavior on GPLv3 that may prevent people to use at all what I do, and that’s not my intention.

Do you have any advice how to handle this?

charje,

You can release your other code under gpl 3 or agpl. If you or someone wants to use it in an mit licensed project you can license it to them under a special license that stipulates that it can only be used in that project and they must give back any changes. Lawyers, please confirm.

citytree,

Pharo is licensed under MIT hence most of my work needs to be licensed also under MIT.

I believe that this is not true. I thought that it is not mandatory for your work to be licensed under the MIT license in this case. Can anyone confirm this?
