      With permissive licensing, freedom applies to the user as they are free do to whatever they like even if that means making the software non-free.

      With copyleft, freedom applies to the software and restrictions are placed on the user so the software’s freedom is upheld.

      I think you’ve succinctly described what I hate about GPL. I could never put my finger on it except that it’s a pain the butt.
