However, GeoGebra concedes that it might not be free software:

> made available under the GNU General Public License without
> restriction.

It will get interesting in case anyone ever tried to fork GeoGebra. I found one case of someone announcing a modified redistribution, but I don't think they succeeded: https://github.com/geogebra/geogebra/pull/5 .
