Wow. looks fantastic. Breaks my heart this is not MIT/BSD or Apache2. Still a great addition to the community though. Thanks.

Hmm, could you elaborate a bit on your concerns? Put another way, what's the worst that could happen?.

Also, it seems to be GPLv3 licensed https://github.com/soyjavi/tuktuk#licensing-options with a special commercial license for OEM's. I don't know how exactly that works - i.e. their methods of detecting OEM users and definition thereof (hence, without knowing these things, I see where problems could come about, but how likely are they to?)

I skimmed through the license/terms of use as they stand at time of posting this, and from https://github.com/soyjavi/tuktuk/blob/master/LICENSE.md#24-... it seems pretty tame.

tldr: GPL3 vs. MIT? What's wrong with the former? Or is something else there you see that I don't?
