The GPL is about an imaginary "right" called "copyleft" that is
allegedly created with a license that infects and steals other
programmer's exclusive rights in their original creations and gives them
to Karl Marx's heirs.
a particular set of conditions under which the owner uses his
exclusive rights to grant certain permissions to selected recipients

"Covenants" -- not conditions dummkopf.
What rock have you been living under, silly dak?
Do you really not understand what a license is? After all this
time?

dummkopf -- n. A stupid person; a dolt.
[German : dumm, dumb (from Middle High German tump, tumb , from Old High
German tumb) + Kopf, head (from Middle High German, cup, cranium , from
Old High German, cup , from Late Latin cuppa).]
