If you assume that the definition of freedom is the number of restrictions, then neither ISC nor GPL are free. The only free license would be no license at all. Public domain. Since _my_ definition of freedom for software is different, I reach different conclusions. If a package does no restrict the way I use it, does permit me to study it and modify it, distribute copies either modified or verbatim, gratis or for a fee, then I consider it free, and I will use it. For me, having to give the source, IF, AND ONLY IF, I distribute the software, is fair. I would do it anyway. I don't think it's wrong for a copyright holder to ask that.
