That's false, of course. The GPL distinguishes between copies
made for own use and copies made for distribution, and permission
for one does not give permission for the other.

The situation is similar to recording broadcast programs
for time shifting. It is legal to record a show and watch
it later. It is not legal to set up a battery of recorders
to record a show and then sell those copies. The law does
not have difficulty distinguishing identical objects based
on their differing histories.
