Question regarding license choice for my program
(lemmy.world)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I've decided to not let my concerns overcome the most important thing of releasing the project as fully open source.
Just going to go with GPLv3 and not worry about the clones that will happen regardless of the license type, if the program becomes popular.
Thank you all for your insight and for helping me come to what I believe to be the best decision.
