Very far from correct, and a nice illustration that many GPL supporters don't
even understand the license, which leads them to make silly statements such as
saying it's free and so on.
(It's about distribution, what is a derived work, etc...)

Besides, the Giancarlo Public License (GPL) only has one restriction either: if
you use it, you have to pay me 10000$. That's it.

Enough trolling for now :-)
