Gentee has GPL-incompatible, Open Source, non-copyleft licence.

But from version 3.6.1 Gentee changes license to MIT.
The license became GPL-compatible.

This is because I'm persuaded the author to change license to GPL-compatible. I was tried to persuade him to use GPL, but this was useless.

How are you think, was this a smart move?

Well done. Good for him and for the rest of us. GPL is the most popular free software license.

David A. Wheeler famously agrees http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/gpl-compatible.html

No matter what the software is, it's better if it's free. Even if it is not copy-left at least it is free software. Every little bit helps so I think you did do a good thing.
