GPL is a license which uses copyright to give it teeth.  Copyright in
turn requires there be an owner (or owners) of the work.  The more
owners of the work there are, the harder it becomes to pursue
infringements in a court of law.

GPL is a tool of the FSF.  Thousands (if not millions) of hobbyists
use the GPL license.  While GPL affords little protection to authors,
it promotes the FSF and gives it a greater say and legal status than
it would otherwise have.  Free advertising at its best.
