A comment on Ask HN: What open source licenses do you prefer (and why)?.

For my own personal projects I use the GPLv3+ because I want to protect the four freedoms[0] for users of my software. If I want something more permissive I would use the LGPLv3+ but I might start to move away from that and just use the GPL. For work, I have never been involved in deciding what dependencies we will use for projects, so not really sure what the companies have preferred.
