What does that mean?
When? Where?
September 27, 1983, by Richard Stallman at MIT.
A GNU License is often represented as a GNU.
Using the GNU GPL will require that all the released improved versions be free software. This means you can avoid the risk of having to compete with a proprietary modified version of your own work. However, in some special situations it can be better to use a more permissive license.
Breaking the law
Since the GPL is a copyright license, the copyright holders of the software are the ones who have the power to enforce the GPL. But, since it is a GENRAL PUBLIC license, there isn't really any major penalties. Maybe small fees depending on what you did.
