This is incorrect. It takes away the "freedom" to use GPLed works in
closed sources and then distribute the result.
I agree, your statement is more close to truth. But it still takes away
some freedom, that is a point.
Note, there still can
be special rare cases, where such a freedom is really needed.
I'm calling you on this one: I say there are not, other than selling
software. Back it up or drop it.
A good example will be the license of Guile or license of the run-time
units of the GNU Ada compiler.
