    You can’t do whatever you want with open source either. One big stipulation of copyleft licenses is the share-alike clause, which means you can’t make modifications and then decide your program is now closed-source, so it protects the code from being enclosed again.

    I mean yes you can make whatever modifications you want, generally, but it’s not totally unrestricted.
