The GPL is arguably not an EULA, as it does not restrict usage of the
software, only the rights to modify/and or redistribute the software in
question.

Only conditionally. Putting something under public domain means that
people can take that software and republish it under proprietary terms.
The GPL strictly enforces that all such redistributions of the software
*remain* Free. Thus, it only serves to *protect* the redistribution and
other freedoms granted therein.
