"Freedom to take away others' freedom" is not actually freedom.

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.
