# GPLv3 §0 ¶1-5

|
||||
"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
|
||||
works, such as semiconductor masks.
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
|
||||
License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
|
||||
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
|
||||
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
|
||||
exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
|
||||
earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
|
||||
on the Program.

# Binaries (i.e., Object Code) are Modifications
|
||||
|
||||
+ Software that the computer understands is different than software humans
|
||||
read.
|
||||
|
||||
+ There is often a process required to modify (and/or translate) the software
|
||||
from human-readable
|
||||
+ This process can be done ahead of time.
|
||||
|
||||
+ Separation of source and binary was the first way proprietary software
|
||||
companies discovered to subjugate users.
|
||||
+ GPL uses the fact that binaries are modifications (which are often
|
||||
distribution) to prevent that subjugation.
