I don’t believe a “better license” should be the dictating factor, I believe what should dictate what is included is what has better functionality. This is politics, and TBH is not a technical reason for inclusion or exclusion. TBH, I believe the only dictating factor should be technical, what does the job best, period. Everything else is ancillary. Something could have a much better license and be total crap.
