So, you value developer freedom, but not user freedom. Copylefted software is "tyrannical" to you because it prevents you from using the software to build proprietary software.
>GPL users tend to want to modify the code
Well, some of us modify some of the source code. But I use most free software unmodified. Free software isn't merely to satisfy my penchant for hacking, but to give me the freedom to have control over my computing and share with my neighbors.
>paid for software
Free software is about freedom, not price. Software can be both free and "paid for".
