"Not giving you stuff" is not stifling your freedom.

At which point there are two products:  the code under the original
license, and the new code under a new license.

Bullshit.  Whoever holds the copyright can change the license, and
they can just as easily say "release 2 is not under GPL."  Relicensing
is not theft, and the possibility of someone taking BSD/MIT-licensed
code and relicensing it is no loss at all.  The original code is still
there.  No freedom has been impinged.
