GPL (and other copylefts too) *do* give other rights downstream, beyond
source access, of course.

While I really disagree with how Al has been raising these suspicions,
*if* Al has any valid argument [0], it would relate to other provisions
of GPL, and not the source-code provisions in GPLv2§3 and GPLv3§6.


[0] And, to be clear to those who seem to have missed this point: I
    *don't* agree with Al's accusations/insinuations.  In fact, I'm
    arguing against them, in case you missed it.
