You still did not understand the problem :-(
A program is an artwork (this is what the European Union did write into laws).
Even though you may get the permission to modify an artwork, you will not get
the permission to create bad carricatures and call them just "modified
versions".
The GPL requires you not to impact the original authors' reputations, but this
is what they are doing by publishing defective variants.
