I'm sorry - that was a typo - we wouldn't stop you at all.  As in we
would not interfer :).  Sorry if this caused any confusion.  However,
the GNU GPL allows for the philosophical freedom 0, which allows you
complete usage of the software.  There's nothing in GPL'ing the software
that would stop you.
