Even if you are not a developer, having the source makes it possible to hire someone else to accomplish a task.

As you correctly say, if you want anyone to be able to do whatever, you're right with choosing a permissive (non-reciprocal) license.
GPL cares about the users of the software, not only the developers, and makes sure that, if they receive some software, they also get the source.
