No. I don't simply want to pile on after everything that has been said, but this is a common misconception. It isn't the purpose of the GPL to protect the rights of developers to impose restrictions on the users of their software. Its purpose, to the extent possible, is to protect the rights of those users. This is best done by preventing developers from imposing such restrictions if they use GNU software. Andrew.
