SQLiteStudio   GPL 

I use DBeaver Community which is an Apache license. It does SQLite and a 
lot more.

Notepad++      GPL

I use gVim or VS Code depending. Bram Moolenaar, who died last year, 
suggested a donation to ICCF Holland in Uganda. The Code license is not 
GPL.


Office 2003    MS EULA.

For the very little office type stuff I do LibreOffice is fine. It's MPL.

PyQt 5         GPL

As I've discussed I use Pysode6 which is LGPL. The refusal of Riverbank to 
use LGPL rather than GPL is the reason there is a PySide6. 

MicroPython and Circuitpython are MIT. I have Thonny installed but don't 
use it since I can do what I want with a VS Code plugin. The same for 
Arduino Studio. I don't think either of those even mention a license.

Prior to Stallman most of what would be considered FOSS was tossed out as 
is, where is. Stallman had a point about licenses in a legalistic world 
but today the pendulum has swung back to non-GPL licenses.
