    It’s an argument against a license that permits relicensing under a more restrictive license. (E.g. BSD)

      Of other software, yes. For example Linux distributions can use the BSD or MIT licensed code without any problems.

      But it does not allow to remove the license from the software.

      On the other hand GPL code cannot be imported into BSD code without introducing restrictions.
