  • Yeah I find GPL to be ironically non-free because it removes the right for anybody to use the code as they see fit, basically adding a restriction on the developer.

    Sometimes, in order to protect everyone’s freedom, you have to put some restrictions on freedom. Like ‘you should not stab people’, or ‘don’t drive on the wrong side of the road’. I guess this is similar.

    But also check who legally ‘owns’ your work. It could be the government, your university, or whoever funds your work. They might have rules on licencing.
