Dear Mariano, 

Thank you for reaching out. 

I am afraid this list is only to submit and discuss licenses which claim to comply with the OSD. The GNU GPLv3 is in the list of approved licenses, therefore I am under the impression we could not help you with your request. 

On a more general note, if you want to familiarize a bit more with the underlying legal concepts of Open Source licensing, may I direct you to my introductory work, available in Italian as a freely downloadable, CC-licensed "Open Source, Software Libero E Altre Libertà", [ https://www.ledizioni.it/prodotto/c-piana-open-source-software-libero-altre-liberta/ | https://www.ledizioni.it/prodotto/c-piana-open-source-software-libero-altre-liberta/   ] Mind, this is not an officially recommended reading by OSI, just a personal suggestion (no personal gain of any type, not even ads or referrals or collected data). 

Cheers 

Carlo (in his personal capacity)
