There are also those people who will argue that weak licenses are
"more free" than the GPL because they allow the licensee more freedom
of use and distribution.
I don't think you can say it's black and white: you have to trade off
the freedom of the licensee against the freedom of the sublicensee. If
you think the freedom of the licensee is more important, you'll prefer
a weak license; if you think the freedom of the sublicensee is more
important, you'll prefer the GPL.
