Many authors do naively choose GPL, and many do not. It depends on the author's goal. If their goal is for as many people as possible to use their code then GPL is not the best choice. If the author places higher priority on the Stallman definition of free software then GPL is a great choice. Sometimes authors with the first goal pick GPL because they don't know any better.
