No license is required to use your copy (in the USA).

The copy is a tangible object which you can buy, sell, give away, and
use without impinging upon copyright.  The license is a grant of some of
the exclusive rights of the copyright owner.  You do not need it unless
you are going to distribute copies or derivatives.

Please read the GPL.
