I notice firejail is currently licensed under GPL v2. This prevents the use of this software in a number of scenarios. @netblue30 would you consider offering other licensing options that offer more flexibility, e.g. MIT or BSD?

I follow the kernel licensing. All Firejail does is to configure security features implemented inside the kernel.
