    Very yes. But GPL license, while inteded to make IT world better, still makes life harder for common developers.

        Not everyone writes open source. Let’s put the reasons aside, but GPL stuff is unusable outside of open source. MIT and Apache are the licenses that make code really free.

          I have to add that GPL licenses would hardly change the intention of creators of software not to publish their source code, instead limiting what libraries they can use and open possibility to sue for a fragments of code that could originate from GPL licensed repositories.
