"The GNU General Public License is one of the most widely used software licenses - and, undoubtedly, the most misunderstood. Some of this misunderstanding comes from hostile propaganda, but some also comes from a lack of experience in licensing issues on the part of both lawyers and lay users, and the use of standard language in conventional end-user license agreements that are unthinkingly coupled with the GPL. In all cases, the confusion is frequently based on misreadings, rumors, secondhand accounts, and what is convenient to believe."

Just means you should move to the GPL if your license isn't providing you with something the GPL does provide. Or should I say if you want something yet your license doesn;t require that and yet your license provides me something that I do not have to provide back to you.
If you want the same rights as others taking your code then the GPL is the license for you.
