So Rapid applications are basically complex configuration files.
Let's say you create a specification for this type configuration files and
Rapid is the reference implementation.
Let's
Hey many thanks Max,

Well, it depends what you want to
If you choose GPLv3, then anyone down stream are required to use GPLv3.
That's the requirement of the license.
