A perspective on General Public Licences for "free software code"

|
The objective and intended application of General Public Licences (GPLs) are well known and succinctly stated. Code licensed under GPLs can be copied, passed on and passed around, improved and amended by anyone who wishes. The intended legal obligation is that any changes and amendments must be done under the terms of the existing license: it must be done under the same terms as the licensee received it. In context of "free software" it must be "free" not in terms of "free of consideration" but "free" in terms of being unrestricted in terms of use.
