Nazi-like in the sense that there is only one right and true way, and nothing else is allowed. The GPL isn't the only license out there, and CERTAINLY is not right for every free software project nor author (I will never release under the GPL, but I have released under the BSD and others). To restrict all software not licensed under exactly one license is dumb, and you'll find, as many others already have, that authors aren't going to just go around changing their licenses to suit the current whim of XYZ distribution. The license clearly dictates how it appropriate for you to use and redistribute the software, and those are the terms you have to accept. Don't like it, don't use it.
