Because you say it is? So show me the relevant legal authority you rely on to make your claim. Self serving assertions made without reference to legal authority and without cogent argument convinces no one but yourself and perhaps Rahul. Put up or shut up.
The GPL is a simple copyright license granting permissions otherwise forbidden by copyright law.
It's an illegal contract giving rise to claims of promissory estoppel.
