"Not giving you stuff" is not stifling your freedom.

At which point there are two products: the code under the original
license, and the new code under a new license.

Bullshit. Whoever holds the copyright can change the license, and
they can just as easily say "release 2 is not under GPL." Relicensing
is not theft, and the possibility of someone taking BSD/MIT-licensed
code and relicensing it is no loss at all. The original code is still
there. No freedom has been impinged.
