You mean, less free alternatives.

I am all but forced by my employers to write non-GPL code - even when I'm allowed to write permissive-license open-source software.

But beyond that, circumstances also pressure me into making software I write on my own available with a permissive license, to reach wider adoption by people writing commercial code. I occasionally have pangs of conscience about doing that, and wonder whether I shouldn't have just taken the "hit" of sticking to the more worthy license.




Could you clarify what any of this has to do with freedom provided by the license itself?

Could you also clarify whether the first example is relating to company code or personal code?
