+Since it's debut, the license has become extremely popular & wide-spread. The GPL has gone through 3 revisions, with GPLv3 being the latest.
GPLv3 allows any user to access, modify, and redistribute the source code, given that the redistributed version of the software is also released as GPLv3. For example, if you create a pice of software named "FreedomJuice" under the GPLv3, and I download & moify it and name it "xFreedomJuicex", I cannot release xFreedomJuicex under the MIT license, it has to be GPLv3 as well.
