I can at the same time both see and not see your point.
Perhaps you should expand on this.

In some ways, the GPL is quite clear: the owner retains
the copyright in it's entirety, and is providing you with
a license, under very strict conditions: you obtain a
license to use the product if you agree that the product
that you make based on this product will likewise be free
and open software. If you disagree, you get no license,
and you are violating copyright PER SE if you make use
of the GPL'd product.

The problem lies in interpretation of what consitututes
use of the code, and so forth, I suspect...
