Positivity on Deligne–Mumford Stacks Without the Torsion-Free Hypothesis

Casalaina-Martin and Zhjeqi proved that the first Chern class of every torsion-free coherent quotient of a tensor power of the logarithmic cotangent sheaf is pseudo-effective, noting in Remark 4.5 that torsion-freeness was imposed only for technical reasons. Can it be dropped? Yes.
