The preference for permissive licenses vs copyleft license depends on where you value the freedom. As a developer who wants to write software, you might prefer permissive licenses because you have the freedom to do whatever you want with the software like including it in your propreitary software. As a user who ultimately runs the software, you might prefer the copyleft license because you get those same freedoms as the developer. I would admit that whether a user uses software that uses a permissive or copyleft license, it is pretty much the same.
