I see it like as in:  "so free that won't let otherwise"

If it's so restrictive and so useless, why are you even getting into an 
argument about it rather than getting over the stupid damned thing? 
Surely there's value there that fuels the many flames like this.

Fact is people want to use it in their closed projects and not give away 
anything, that's why they complain so much about GPL software rather 
than pull themselves together and use MIT/BSD software.
