That might be perfectly true for you, but not for everyone in the world.

Personally I am really glad GCC is GPLed. If it were let's say BSDed or 
under a license similar to yours I most probably would not have free GCC 
compilers for almost all CPU's I want to use, and the ability to make 
one for most others. (OK, PICs are an prime exception :( )

GPL (/LGPL) is not the perfect license for all software, but neither is 
any other license. But from my perspective it is definitely the perfect 
license for *some* software.
