A large number of open source projects you find today are `GPL Licensed`_.
While the GPL has its time and place, it should most certainly not be your
go-to license for your next open source project.
A project that is released as GPL cannot be used in any commercial product
without the product itself also being offered as open source. The MIT, BSD, and
ISC licenses are great alternatives to the GPL that allow your open-source
software to be used in proprietary, closed-source software.
