becoz OpenSource software depends on the principals of
copyright for the GPL to be enforceable.
Well, no. If there were no copyright, everything would be naturally
"open source". In fact, that was the general idea for the creation of
the GPL: to emulate the "no copyright" world Stallman idealized. The
GPL needs to be enforceable only because copyright exists. If
copyright did not exist, the GPL would not need to be enforceable.
But it does exist, so trying to living in RMS's idealized world is a
waste of time
