If you call the power to handcuff users to your customized code based on

a BSD-licensed original an additional "freedom", then you're right, and

you should be working for Microsoft, Apple, or some other company that

makes their profits by putting walls between computer users.
I don't call that a freedom. That's no more a right than the right to

keep another human being as a slave. We (in the US) got rid of that

particular broken system over a century ago, and for good reason.
