Under this logic, copyleft is also a use restriction. It bars
proprietary use of free software.
Being proprietary is not an attribute of the use. It is a description
of the exclusion of other uses than the mentioned. Nothing distinguishes
the "proprietary usage" from the "non-prorietary usage" when looking
at the actyual useage only.
Your ability to *use* is not restricted by copyleft.
Your ability to prevent others from using your modification is.
So "proprietary use" is not a type of usage, and its restriction is
not a use restriction.
