"Remember the GPL is coercive about forcing you to do things. The GPL is free as in NOT FREE."
BZZZ! WRONG!
Being subject to the restrictions of a GPL license is voluntary, not coercive. The choice is yours; if you want to use GPL'ed code, you have to agree to make available any and all changes to the source code.
You can choose not to use the code, or you can choose to use it and accept the restrictions. Something can only be described as coercive if you never accepted either choice, and are still left holding the bag. For example- taxes, government, (immoral) wars, economic interventionism and much, much more.
