Unfortunately, many of the largest and best FOSS projects in the world
are GPL-licensed.

(not that everyone of those is the best)
What I found remarkable, no sarcasm intended, is how few apps on that list
that I use. Pan, gcc, and the Linux kernel. I installed slrn on the
Fedora box but don't use it. I think it also has Konqueror by default.
Even for Python I use black or ruff instead of PyLint and they both are
MIT. Everything else is MIT, Apache, zero clause BSD, or something like
the Python license. Usually there iw working that they can be construed as
GPL if you really want to.
