What are the benefits of dApps over GPL apps?

[Luca]

Apart from decentralization, what else makes decentralized applications (dApps) more open-source and GPL-compliant? Does blockchain technology eliminate some of the transparency issues that plague conventional software?

[Mark]

Decentralized applications in the US market tend to be more open-source due to blockchain's transparent ledger, auditable smart contracts, and community-driven development. It often uses open-source smart contracts.

Blockchains improve transparency over traditional software; they don't eliminate all issues like smart contract vulnerabilities. GPL compliance depends on the developers' licensing choices, which the open nature supports.
