The First Sale doctrine has nothing to do with copyright
infringement of GPL-covered works, except in its usual
sense. In particular, a copy of a GPL-covered work made
for use does not become a copy which may be transferred
under 17 USC 109 without the GPL being honored, any more
than a time-shifted recording made for personal use is
such a copy.
