Yeah, its fair for them if they want a little bit credit

nothing gucci there

Being required to store the GPL license notice on my hard drive is contradicting my wishes. And I'm not even earning $20 million US dollars per month off GPL software!

You are still free to run the program as you wish, you just have to provide attribution to the end user. It's essentially CC BY but even more permissive, because the attribution only kicks in once when specific, relatively uncommon conditions are met.

I think basically everybody considers CC BY to be open source, so a strictly more permissive license should be too, I think.

This freedom might be against the freedom of others to get your modifications.
