Apart from every example of GPL software, which can't be used under the permissive terms of Open Source. The last person I replied to about this used the word "essentially" here, also. Is there a common source slogan for this belief?

Also, somebody should tell all of the people who keep rewriting GPL stuff in order to have an MIT version.

The GPL qualifies as Open Source, it meets all the requirements of the OSD and is on the OSI list of open source licenses.
