      Why? The entire purpose of GPL is to counteract copyright. If there is no copyright we no longer need GPL either.

        The GPL gives you the right to access and modify the source code of software you use. A lack of copyrights does not mean that the creators have to share the source code with you. In fact, it means that anyone can take GPL software and turn it into closed source software
