  Uh? I don't understand.

  If I think that it's restrictive and useless, I should not express that
opinion? I really can't see the logical causality here.

  I fail to see any causality here either. The only reason why I argue
so vocally against the GPL must be that the GPL is valuable? How does
that make any sense?

  Could the reason why I argue against the GPL is that fanboys advocating
it as something it's not ("you can use it in *any way* you want") are
irritating? No, that cannot be the reason. The reason must be that I think
GPL is valuable, which is why I oppose it so much. Yeah, that makes so much
sense.

  Yes. Everybody is trying to rip off GPL code for their selfish desires,
which is why the only reason why people oppose the GPL.

  This, of course, includes people who would want to use some other
open source licenses which are even less restrictive than the GPL.
