Section 7:
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.
I don't think it's enforceable, but IANAL.

- koenigdavidmj 16y ago>Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
- mbreese 16y agoSomewhat ironically, the reason for this is that the FSF holds the copyright to the GPL, so only they can change it. Well, you could probably change it, but you couldn't call it the GPL anymore... and it would probably be copyright infringement. I wonder what would happen if the GPL itself was licensed under the GPL... I suspect it would start raining turtles. :)
- stcredzero 16y agoThe GPL was devised as a way of turning Copyright against itself.
- koenigdavidmj 16y agoAccording to their FAQ you can change it, but you have to change the name and remove the preamble entirely.
