GPL is bad because it perpetuates the concept of durable intellectual property ownership/ licensing over supposedly “Free” (as in libre) code. Durable licenses are all bad. Unlicense is the only true FOSS license in common use, with an ‘F’.
“Free, but you must do these things” is not actually Free.
Notable and very honorable examples of projects that use Unlicense are youtube-dl and yt-dlp (and obviously, those are not programs intended to benefit corporations).
Now you have heard an argument against GPL that is not about corporations.
