Um, this is where I think we differ on interpretation.
GPL software *is* 100% free(dom). What is different about this
license is that it requires software that uses it to also be 100%
free. This simply means that you cannot reap the benefits of freedom
and then turn around and deny them to others.
Linux and probably most of the non-Microsoft/Apple world would not
exist if it were not for this philosophy. The fact that the psycopg2
author used GPL instead of the more appropriate LGPL doesn't mean
that there is a problem with GPL.
