I mean I use Deluge anyway, but Qbittorrent is also libre and actually has a more permissive license (so more freedom)

Edit: apparently I looked at the wrong qbittorrent in github. The real one is GPL too so no more free than Deluge.

Deluge is GPLv3 only. Qbittorrent is a mix of GPLv2 and GPLv3. Personally I'll stick to v3 since it includes specific terms that protect against modern DRM and ways to circumvent GPLv2.

Ah, right, I googled qbittorrent license earlier and accidentally instead read another similarly named project's license, which was MIT. You're right, Qbittorrent isn't really any more free than Deluge.
