I understand the reasoning and I also understand the interest of still providing the sources. I'm however curious why the MIT license was chosen instead of the AGPL if competition was a concern

AGPL doesn't prevent others from reselling your software no? I thought it only mandated that they also release their own source modifications.

He seems to claim 3rd parties are offering bearblog commercially without modifications (or with useless modifications, like just a changed name).

Presumably it wasn't a concern when they started and became one later; after all, they changed the license.
