It is the closest European licence to public domain and allows all uses for all purposes, including deriving and sublicensing. The Copyleft Clause is unfortunately named but serves only to ensure the terms of the licence may not be restricted in copies or derivations.

I think you're confused about what the GNU copyleft is if you think this is a coherent statement. The GNU copyleft _exactly_ "ensures the terms of the license may not be restricted in copies or derivations", I don't know what else you think it "restricts uses". The problem is that this prevents a work (or portions thereof) covered by the license from being incorporated in a larger work that has components under restrictive licenses (such as commercial UNIX derivatives)
Which is a restriction not in the BSD licences and public domain works.
Right, but it _is_ in the EUPL. All I'm saying is that you haven't actually articulated what difference you believe exists between "GNU copyleft" and EUPL copyleft.
