When I release code, I find that the GPL preserves the rights that are important to me. Someone who wants to use it in commercial software will complain that the GPL isn't free enough because he can't use it. Many would say that the GPL is more free than, for example, the BSD license because it guarantees that modified versions remain free.
If you are going to argue, please explain where you are coming from so you can get past the word 'free' and actually discuss something instead of having everyone talk past each other. Different people prefer different licenses. Why don't we all agree to that and go drink some beers and work on 'free' software.
