What's restricted is your ability as a software author to use the GPL'd code in a program or linked suite of programs that are distributed under a license that isn't the GPL or very similar to the GPL. Contrast with a paid license for a proprietary development library that allows you to distribute the library with your product in compiled binary form under any terms you wish, but that restricts you from distributing the source code (or at least the source code and headers for the proprietary library).
