Whether proprietary add-ons are built into the same package(s), as in MacOSX/BSD, or built as separate packages as in Android/Linux (thus "on top") to avoid triggering copyleft, the negative outcome for the software freedom of users is exactly the same. If that's so, then there's no logical basis to the claim that copyleft licenses prevents re-use in freedom-denying systems more effectively than non-copyleft licenses do. In order to continue this discussion with you, I need you to explain either how Android/Linux) is less freedom-denying than MacOSX/BSD. If you can't do that, then I rest my case.
