GPLv3 (GNU General Public License version 3)

The GNU General Public License version 3 (GPLv3) is a legal framework designed to protect users' freedom to use, modify, and share software. It allows anyone to run the software, study how it works, and improve it, as long as they share their modifications under the same license. This means enhanced collaboration and transparency. GPLv3 also addresses issues like software patents and tivoization (restricting devices from running modified software), ensuring that users maintain control over the software they use. Essentially, it promotes a fair and open digital environment while safeguarding user rights.
