    The GPL requires copyright, cops, and violence to function. Without copyright, how can the GPL restrict others from copying? Without cops, how can the GPL threaten others with a legal process and summon them to courts? Without violence, how can the GPL have any serious threat against anyone?

    The GPL relies on copyright, cops, and violence to maintain its threat against others. Without the threat, the GPL is nothing.
