The single most common reason I hear not to use software is that they are proprietary and demand money up front for using it. Every time torrents and piracy is brought it, software is in the middle of the discussion.

Equally convince that you are about your reality, so am I that opponents to GPL are exclusive those who wish to add restrictions on software. Those who only wish to share software and doesn't add restrictive licenses to their work can treat GPL, MIT and BSD as equivalent. It would be nice if the vocal minority would in this regard be "little more in touch with reality" and be upfront about their intension.
