@arya That's the GPLv3, please don't say "GPL" when you mean GPLv3.

The reason why that is written is because otherwise people would just go edit the GPLv3 and add proprietary terms and say that such is the: "GNU General Public License Version 3".


The FSF does permit editing the GPLv3 into whatever license you want as long as you remove all mentions of GNU and the FSF and remove the Preamble - but it's a terrible idea to do that, as in almost all cases it would be better to add an exception under section 7.
