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.
