You're right. The GPL should give you the same rights to modify and 
extend code that a typical proprietary software EULA does.

Those free software people purely suck with their insistence that you 
follow their nasty licenses that only allow you to use their work in 
other free software products instead of using it in proprietary products 
that make you money. Darn commies. How dare they keep you from profiting 
from their work while they don't?!

I think that in retaliation you should boycott all software licensed 
under the GPL. That'll show 'em!
