This is like saying North America and Europe don't have freedom because you're not free to kill/abuse/take advantage of the others however you like. Freedom doesn't work like that.

The GPL restrictions are for keeping the freedom equal for all parties involved.

And it works great. I know very few software companies that will go anywhere near the thing. Good job GPL /s

Have you considered that developers may have motivations other than attracting as many companies as possible to make millions off of their free labor?

Yeah, but it inconveniences me

The freedom to deny freedom to others is not freedom. Society at large, particularly in the US, is having trouble with this notion.

> one of the most restrictive

restrictive for the developers. GPL freedom is for the users before anything.
