If you still can't understand the value of "law and order", I suggest
you watch one or all of the Mad Max movies. Or perhaps you should indulge
in a Western movie marathon. Something mob related could also help put

Not really.
The GPL is only a problem if you are trying to make a "product"
to try and sell to someone else. Even then, the relevant building
blocks are not likely to be licensed in a manner that will interfere.
Basically:
