Though the analogy is inapt, because the GPL *doesn't* prevent use of software for "things you don't like":
Sure it does -- it prevents the use of software for things that are closed source.
What worse, is that it prevents me to use a GPL library in a MIT library, unless there is an explicit extra clause in the license, like done by the library shipped with MySQL, and some (not so many) others: http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/licensing/foss-exception.html
