GNU General Public License
From Libregamewiki
The GNU General Public License is a copyleft license for free software. It is by far the most common license used in games documented by Libregamewiki. Version 3 is the latest and current version.
Although it is intended for source code, it fits other types of works well (and Richard Stallman does not object to such uses[1]).
Some people prefer GPL (or GFDL) for media over the free Creative Commons licenses like CC BY-SA for compatibility, and because GPL protects the source availability and editability and not just prohibits DRM.[2]
