The maximum fine allowed by GDPR is "10 million or 2% of global revenue, whichever is higher". The goal is to ensure the GDPR "has teeth" even against companies for who 10 million is a drop in the bucket. Keep in mind

The real reason isn't that the system would be GPLv3. The real reason is that GPLv3 includes a patent grant clause, which many companies (Apple included) are very worried about applying to them if they ship GPLv3 code, therefore they

Correct. Also, you cannot with hold access upon users not consenting, so there's literally zero incentive for users to ever consent for compliant providers. Which is kinda obvious with the GDPR's overall goal of making it impossib
