The point is that the people who use your software have that awkward right, which you have carefully granted them (as that is the only right removed by the GPL). This is frankly sufficiently obvious that I can only imagine you are arguing in bad faith :/. Like, I definitely have seen good-faith arguments against the GPL, but this is not one of them.

I... understand this argument, thank you. P.S. "Carefully granted"? The words "to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to [rather long list of verbs]" is anything but "carefully granted", it's a blanket permission.
