Not exactly. The GPL wants to _force_ you to share it, whether you want it
or not. That's not freedom in my book and why I don't like it. I've been
involved in some discussions about the GPL in the french hierarchy fr.* and 
that was what I told GPL proponents.

At least the BSD licence is consistent with its use of 'freedom'...
