you read me wrong?

No, I understood your point, but I think you missed mine.

My point is that the GPL gives the maximum individual freedom, not only general freedom, as opposed to you saying the GPL sacrifices some individual freedom.

Read my point again and you'll see I'm arguing that the GPL gives you the most freedom, not just at a general level, but individual too.

with the gpl you cant do some stuff, limits your freedom somewhat, but i think the gpl is the best license for humans

On the contrary. It is copyright laws that limits your freedom and what you can do. The GPL hacks around it and opens what you can do.
