Hi, Viua VM's developer here - I am behind this project.
The initial target/goal for me was to create a programming language, but I found it hard to dig into GCC (didn't know about LLVM then), so I decided to create my own runtime VM. Thus, the VM was born.
Why I chose GNU GPL v3? Simply because I am a strong proponent of Free Software (you may have also found that Viua has a page on GNU Savannah).
A piece of trivia: why name it "Viua"? "Viua" is pronounced a bit like "wiła" in Polish. Wiła is a female daemon in Slavic mythology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernatural_beings_in_Slavic_religion#Vila https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernatural_beings_in_Slavic_...
