Should the caution against free software licenses be removed?

[marcprux]

Now that Swift is expanding beyond its Apple-focused roots, I think that calling out a Swift package for using variants of the General Public License (GPL) with a scary orange exclamation point is no longer warranted. The SPI FAQ's warning that these licenses "may present a legal risk" does not apply to the platforms where the Swift community has been struggling to make inroads.

For example, the HTML generation package like HyperSwift, whose primary application will be on servers (where GPL-style licenses are common), is called out as being "problematic". Linux and Android are themselves GPL, so clearly running GPL-licensed code on these platforms does not present any "legal risk".

I have dozens of Swift packages that use the LGPL, but I can't list any of them on SPI because it looks like they are somehow dangerous. Other package indices like swiftinit.org have no such license bias.
