boingboing.net — Oh, the irony. The MPAA's "University Toolkit" (a piece of monitoring software that universities are being asked to install on their networks to spy on students' communications) has been taken down, due to copyright violations.

Not true - you do have to accept to the licence. If you don't, you are not allowed to use/access/whatever the software - simple as that. A licence is a licence, GPL is no different.

No, really. The GPL does not restrict your right to use the software in the first place. Go read it - the legalese isn't too heavy.
