Yes, in some circumstances that's true. For example, recently I think it was a GNU codec library that was released under a permissive license, because there are plenty of proprietary video codec libraries and for a free format to win, a permissively-licensed library is useful.

But Stallman put the GCC under the GPLv3.

So I don't think your comments re: papacy are terribly on-point.
