What exactly is Copyleft?

Calin Baenen - Dec 9 '20 - - Dev Community

I was just confused about the term, and wanted to know what exactly it meant. It doesn't seem to be the (exactly) the opposite of copyright, but its license serves the opposite purpose(?).

Can someone please explain this (ELIA5 would be very appreciated)?

Thanks!
Cheers!
