FYI, GMail is not a software but a web-service. The concept of Free Software doesn't extend to web-services yet because the Internet was in its infancy in 1991 or so. It's still debatable whether Google is violating the GPL or not since the GPL permits users to make private modifications and since Google is not distributing the source code of GMail, it is deemed as a private modification. So I don't think your argument stands here.
