Silly boy!  The GPL doesn't restrict copying at all.  It restricts 
distribution of copies.  If you distribute, you must comply, they say, 
although the recipient of an improperly distributed copy is specifically 
allowed to use the copy but cannot distribute in turn without compliance. 
The GPL seems to serve next to no purpose.  After all your posting, I would 
think that you would have known that.
