The only thing thats really unusual about the GPL is that you ARE free
to copy it and give it away as many times as you can find takers for,
AND if you improve it AND deploy that improvement off the premises,
then you are also bound to GIVE those improvements away to anyone who
asks, for not more than a small fee to cover the cost of the media
you put it on, and your time to record that media.

Actually, you only have to make the code available to anyone to whom you
provided the binary. That may seem like a small point, but it allows
individuals and organizations to use GPL'd software as a base for modified
internal-use-only versions.
