Tech corporations demand "freedom" to exploit the software commons without contributing to it. To use open source communities and their volunteers as unpaid interns, while keeping the platforms they build on top of their work proprietary, and patent-encumbered. To ensure their ability to keep doing this, they run a constant PR offensive against copyleft licenses that oblige reciprocity, framing them as a denial of developer freedom (to prevent users and other developers using their freedoms).

Here's a typical example of developers who clearly support software freedom, but whose thinking about licensing has been distorted by this anti-copyleft FUD:

"However, not all of the software bundled provides this freedom - the GPL restricts the ability of developers who wish to integrate I2P with their own applications that are not themselves open source applications."
