If it’s GPL then you must care about “free software”. If that is the case, you should reconsider hosting on a fully-proprietary code forge. It requires cognitive dissonance to thing FLOSS is the right license for your project but not for your tooling/community.

You’re projecting that you would feel cognitive dissonance if you made the same choices as OP.

It’s perfectly reasonable for people to want to license their own work under a particular license without believing that everyone else should do the same, for example. Someone with that opinion, or a whole host of other positions that allow for different licenses to coexist, wouldn’t experience any cognitive dissonance.

The question then becomes what you are going to do about your cognitive dissonance. Continue to believe that “everyone else must be wrong”?

Not the same thing to compare how others should license their software versus keeping ideals consistent in your own project+tooling. If “everyone else must be wrong”, why are there continually waves of projects leaving ever since the Microsoft acquisition in particular? There’s a correlation with the kinds of projects that left too being philosophically aligned with free software & copyleft.
