Excuse me if my questions can appear polemical, I just want to understand
:-).
The GPL constraint that imposes that every distribution must be licensed
under the GPL itself is not a restriction on redistribution? Is not GPL an
OS license?

Is a license that prohibits me from redistributing under another license not
against the concept of freedom? (Just to understand!)

I wait for your feedback.
