The second question may seem strange, but why copyleft license is
used?


Hopefully in order to prevent the distribution of proprietary
derivative works...


CLOSED derivative works.

If it's copyright, it's proprietary.

"proprietary" == "property". If it's copyright, it has an owner,therefore it's property, therefore it's proprietary.
