Read it carefully...
The 17 USC 117 is about private modifications or private copies, and GPL does
_not_ actually put any restrictions on that. Read RMS' comments on Apple
Public Source License for details. And you still cannot release that modified
version without copyright holder's permission...

and the 17 USC 109 only talks about _physical_ media of the copyrighted
material, it makes no sense to say it allows redistributions. The basic idea
is that you can give your CD or book to anyone without restrictions.
