So then the "you" there refers to "you the user", not "you the
author".
The GNU License is addressed to the user, not the author, and not
from the view of a spectator watching the user/author thingy, as it is
an _end-user_ license agreement. An agreement the _end user_
signs to use the free software.

Is this right?

What exactly then is being said in the quoted passage?
