Actually, it's the only point of the GPL.

If someone offers me something without expectation of recompense,
and I take it without offering recompense, then what have I done
which is reprehensible.

BTW, the feelings that things are not quite "fair" being expressed
here are exactly the reason that the GPL and LGPL inhibit
all commercial development for Linux. There are some people who
think it isn't "fair".
