Great Read! 😄
Inspired by you! Thanks for provoking it
The GPL is an excellent license and I use it for all of my own projects. The real problem is Richard Stallman, and it isn't because the cancel culture mafia hates him, it's because he's a far-left lunatic who adds nothing but friction and trouble to everything he touches. In fact, in my own projects, I replace the words "free software" with "open source" in my copy of the GPL, just to make sure he gets upset if he ever reads it.
