That's basically the distinguisher between permissive licenses (e.g., MIT and Apache) and copyleft ones (e.g., GPL). With permissively-licensed software, forks can be other licenses, even proprietary ones, but with copyleft-licensed software, forks need to stay copyleft-licensed. This is why the FSF calls permissive licenses "pushover licenses".
