2.10. Why was the GPL chosen as the licence for Harbour?

That's really a question best asked of each of the Harbour copyright holders. A simple answer would be that the GPL is seen as one of the more restrictive free software licences and, for that reason more than any other, it appeared to give the maximum amount of freedom and at the same time the correct degree of control over use and distribution.
