It does not mean that whatever changes are made are forced upon you, as for that same reason, you can change it. GPL has given us Linux, Firefox, etc.
OOPS, not so fast...have you seen the stir GPL 3 is causing? Turns out if you plan on using GPL 3 code in a commercial product, there will be several pending restrictions-- which your customer/client may find not only objectable, but in TiVo's case, completely destructive. And I quote: *(The GPL 3) no longer works in the "fairness" sense. It's purely a firebrand, and only good for the extremist policies of the FSF. It's no longer a nice balance that a lot of people can accept, and that a lot of companies can stand behind once you explain it to them.* --Linus Torvalds, Linux founder See "Torvalds critical of new GPL draft" < http://news.com.com/Torvalds+critical+of+new+GPL+draft/2100-7344_3-6099475.html?tag=item
