Which part, then?  Name chapter and verse.
Maybe the spirit, as you see it.  But which letter?

But if the GPL is to be treated as a legally enforceable document, "live by the sword, and die by the sword". GPL-desk-pounders can't have it both ways.

(This is also why it's not "GNU/Linux"... if RMS had wanted that, it should have been written into the license. He forgot, so the rest is history. It's just Linux, dammit.)
