Windows itself comes with Paint for free, too.  I don't know what camera 
suppliers might do, but I think that you can see that there are not many 
opportunities to steal GPL code and do anything famous with it, whether or 
not you could get away with it.  So the GPL really doesn't protect anything 
valuable, regardless of the issue of whether it is any protection to begin 
with.
