Actually, that last part is wrong. Part of the GPL is that you must extend them the terms of the GPL, which allow them to redistribute the code. In any case, if you don't like the "evil" terms of the GPL, then write the bloody thing from scratch. You don't have some God-given right to do whatever you want with GPL'ed software. The authors have given you something for free, with a few restrictions on how you can redistribute it. If they hadn't been so kind as to release it under the GPL, you wouldn't have access to it at all.
