In general, it is preferred that Pop!_OS projects are licensed GPL-3.0-only. There are some exceptions to this:

  • MPL-2.0 may be used if it is desired to allow linkage with projects that use other licenses, but require modifications to remain open source
  • MIT OR Apache-2.0 may be used if it is desired to have wide use, with potential downstream modifications, in software of any license

To summarize: Use GPL-3.0-only for applications, MPL-2.0 for libraries with utility in the open source community, and MIT OR Apache-2.0 for foundational libraries with utility anywhere.
