 Here is the reasoning:
-  * A GPL/LGPL license removes the ability to protect and hide your private code and introduces various licensing limitations concerning propriety code that are not helpful especially on mobile platforms.

-  *   If Proton was zlib free, someone would eventually GPL a branch and start adding features to it, which could not be shared with the main distribution which has a much more open license.  (This happened with my zlib licensed game Dink Smallwood -  I was unable to use community improvements from a GPL'ed version when doing the mobile port, for instance)

-  *   Proton's license is specifically written in such a way that it can't be GPL'ed or effectively branched (possible, but considering the attribution license requirement, unappetizing at best), so there will only be one distribution
+  *  The no attribution license for a fee option allows someone to use Proton in a place where attribution is impossible/undesirable
-  *  The no attribution license for a fee option allows someone to use Proton in a place where attribution is impossible/undesirable without opening Proton up to the issues of branching mentioned above
