I would argue a move away from GPL is a bad idea. I am surprised Ubuntu explicitly mentioned licensing, and not technical reasons, as a reason for this move.
EDIT: I misread the point about Canonical focusing on licensing as their main driver for the move.
They didn’t mention licensing as the reason for the move. The community members in the discourse thread mentioned licensing as their reason for opposing the move. Canonical itself mentioned memory safety and speed as the main reasons, saying the licensing wasn’t part of the reason why

I stand corrected. Thanks!
