You perhaps don't lose anything - but consider person A, who takes the software from you - full source code and freedom, and person B, who takes the software from your friend who made it closed - no source code or freedoms.
then B is an ass - he should have taken it from me. The fact that A takes my code and closes it only applies to the copy A has - my copy is still open.
