No.   I encourage people to actually read the GNU public license before
asking silly questions like this, although I also encourage them to ask
the silly question if they're really confused.   Of course, I don't
represent the FSF, so my encouragement may not be welcome.   I'm just
piping up because these silly questions stimulate my well-developed sense
of the bizarre.
