Yes. The FSF wishes users of computer programs to have the
ability to run, read, modify, and share them. Therefore
they urge that code be licensed under the GPL. They do not
mind if in the process of ensuring this, developers are in
some way disadvantaged from what they might be able to do
were the code public-domain or otherwise licensed. The FSF
does not care about freedom for developers.
