So, absent the snideness, rudeness, mechanical repetition
of one stock phrase ("the AFC test"), and weasel wording,
what little remains is that you just don't like copyleft licenses.  

As Rick Moen would say, this is not your blog.  As I would say,
if you don't have anything relevant to contribute that is germane to the
licenses under review, butt out.
