Copyleft isn't permissive. It's a viral license that sets restrictions on derivative works, forks and contribution.

And thank deity for it!

Holy cow am I so glad for every line of that viral leftist restrictive code!

The more GPL code there is in the world, the better off everyone (consumers and business owners both) are.

What virus ever gave you the option of "oh in that case, no thanks, I'll do it some other way" ?

Permissive meaning “freedom” (the eff definition) in this case.
