Supporting Open Source While Opposing Copyright
,----[ Quote ]
| Indeed, the GPL today doesn't really prohibit people from copying,
| it merely imposes certain requirements on those who make and
| distribute derivative works. If you just want to copy and use a
| GPL'd work yourself, or even make a private derivative work from it,
| you're free to do so, and many organizations in fact do that. The
| GPL's requirement is just that if you want to share, you must enable
| others to share likewise.
