Because the GPL isn't "free" software. Any license that _forces_
someone to release their source code tramples on the rights of the
author to decide how the code _they_ wrote is controlled. That
certainly is not "free."
The GPL makes the right of the person using the software override the
right of the person who worked on the software.
