This statement is only true if you consider information a 
meta-property and thus very concept of copyright legitimate. I 
personally don't and thus BSD ideology suits me better :P In such 
terminology base your statement makes no sense as restricting a 
copy has nothing to do with original.

Pretty much any GPL vs BSD holywar out there makes circles 
arounds these very basics. I like BSD ideologically but GPL is 
simply better for practical reasons if you want your project to 
evolve as community-based. And, of course, there are always 
exceptions :P
