Why do you discriminate against developers? Many of the GPLs' restrictions have everything to do with propagating freedoms that enable users to be developers. In fact for mere users who have no intention of developing or hiring someone to do it, many of the freedoms granted are just plain useless.
Coincidentally, many of the people who prefer permissive licenses are users and developers (and because they share their work, distributors!) at the same time. That is why they go with licenses that respect freedoms relevant to all these roles equally, without discriminating.
Even if you are not developing software, the GPL (v2 in particular) has a nice trap in it should you decide to use your, ehm... freedom to share the software with a friend who needs it. In case you forget to comply with all its petty obligations..

With no developers there are no users.
