#2Is there a particular reason they chose GPL 3 over an MIT license?

#3AirDrop is brilliant but it fails silently, no error messages - nothing. At best, it says that it was cancelled.
Does anyone knows how to debug it?
I also wonder, why this type of file transfer isn't the industry standart. It's so straightforward(when it works), why would anyone transfer files in any other way? Okay, maybe a transfer history can also be useful.

I tend to use snapdrop.net when everyone is on the same network otherwise https://www.sharedrop.io/ works well too

A major failure point for me is devices simply not showing up as available.

It‘s brilliant until a pair of devices enters a state where the target does not receive airdrop notifications anymore, while the source is stuck on „waiting“, which can only be resolved by restarting the devices.

When AirDrop doesn’t work I just turn Bluetooth off and on on the device. That’s usually enough.
