A company employee is not free to do whatever he wants with company
property (such as a software CD) that he needs for doing his job.
He is not the rightful owner.
If you are an employee of mine and get access to software in my
possession for the purpose of job, you are not permitted to make
copies for your private use.
If the license explicitly states so, yes. But the GPL does not, so I
am allowed to make copies of GPLed software for my own private use.
This is where our opinions differ I think.
A tangible copy _is_ property, and getting company-internal access
to it does not grant you the rights connected with owning this
property: namely copying its contents.
But the content isn't property! The _medium_ that the content resides
on is.
