Do you know what a contract to distribute is?

It's not the GPL, which is a license.

Do you what the first sale doctrine is?

Yes, it's completely orthogonal. If you own something which
you are permitted to sell under the first sale doctrine, then
you need no permission from the copyright holder and so the
license, whether it's the GPL or Adobe's EULA, doesn't matter.

It's *none* of your business what other people compile GPL
source code with.

The GPL makes it its business. You don't want to comply, don't
copy and distribute.

I know . . . the GPL grabs the wife , the kids, the family dog and
your SUV too. He. He.

Sincerely,
Rjack :)
