Man oh man. You're being so confused, Hyman.

http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html

"Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
license document, but changing it is not allowed."

Go and tell all those Guh-NÜ-slash-Linux distributors that according to
you, they are lacking permission to copy and distribute the GPL as part
of their distributions (i.e. compilations/collective works).

And then go to doctor, silly.
