I thought I read elsewhere there were some GPL 2 parts in there too, I guess not.

I tried to find a source for this more credible than “I remember reading it on Lemmy” but couldn’t, now that the repo is deleted nobody can confirm. Perhaps some forks still exist… 🤔

No, that's impossible, because they didn't allow it 😭

According to the article they did allow it. They got rid of that clause in a license update, just didn't allow you to modify your fork lol
