No. It was to force people to a its license, thus denying one's freedom =
to  =

apply on it's own work. There is no way with whatever license to revoke =
 =

it, only the copyright owner can do. Say you have a BSD library or  =

application. Say one create a derivative work from it. Say he/she releas=
e  =

it under proprietary  license (worst case to the eye of most consumers).=
  =

Then, the original BSD library or application is still not proprietary, =
so  =

no freedom is lost (Stallman's purpose was not to protect anything, but =
to  =

force people). There is simply no way to remove freedom from anything,  =

only the owner can do so (and anyway, could not apply to what was alread=
y  =

distributed). Stallman created an fear which should have never existed, =
to  =

force people, and mainly profited from the confusion between  =

free-as-in-beer and free-as-in-speech, to promote it (personal opinion).=
  =

GPL is more about free-as-in-beer than about free-as-in-speech, and the =
 =

opposite for BSD and MIT (personal opinion again).
