Some kinds of licenses make the product dirty.

For example, the GNU GPLv3 lets people do almost anything they want with your project, except to distribute closed source versions.

At the same time, there are ready-made solutions, the use of which code can simplify life.

Is there a limit to the kinds of licenses that we can use during development?

MaKiPL commented 5 years ago

I just simply want it to remain open-source, so GNU GPLv3 is perfect in my opinion

Albeoris commented 5 years ago

Then we have to add license text to the header of each file that is licensed by the GPL. :( (if you are talking about licensing the entire project)

OK, then we can use third-party code distributed under the GPL.
