There's a lot of nuance there. I assume you mean BSD License vs GPLv2 ... technically yes because you can literally do whatever you want with BSD License code BUT it doesn't protect freedom either so kind of no.

"Freedom to take away others' freedom" is not actually freedom.
With permissive licensing, freedom applies to the user as they are free do to whatever they like even if that means making the software non-free.
With copyleft, freedom applies to the software and restrictions are placed on the user so the software's freedom is upheld.
