The correct answer to the following question will be "GNU General Public License".

Explanation:

GNU General Public License:

This is a commonly used free and license open source that ensures the right to operate, test, distribute and change the program for end-users. To prevent the GNU program from becoming proprietary, Richard Stallman developed the GPL. It is a basic use of his idea of the "copyleft."

If an individual alters and downloads a free software program, the program will then be uploaded with another name, then they would have to use this type of software license.
