"Restrictive" in the context of licenses has a specific meaning: it's the opposite of "permissive" e.g. MIT and Apache. You can't ensure your licensees don't restrict their users without placing restrictions on what they can do with their work. The users aren't the ones agreeing to the license, after all; it's the people using GPL code to whom it's restrictive.
