Ugh, really wish that weren't a GNU license in there.

Really glad there's a license that protects my freedom to use the software in there.

Of course, wasn't saying that there shouldn't be a license. This is an interesting cultural lens for me, having been heads-down in the Magento (OSL/AFL core) world for so long. Seems GNU is common for Wordpress, plugin authors can use MIT, but it seems not as common.

That's right. Given it's a WordPress plugin GPLv3 was the natural choice. I'm open to hearing arguments for and against though..
