In the USA and some many other jurisdictions you cannot violate any
copyright license by running a program because copyright controls only
the right to make copies and running a program does not do that.  It may
involve making temporary "ephemeral" copies such as the copy from disk
to RAM: USA copyright law clarifies this by granting a specific
exemption for running programs. Section 9 of the GPL makes this explicit
and extends it to other jurisdictions.

The license terms attached to a copy of a work by the copyright owner
apply to all copies of that work made by others no matter what terms are
attached to other works that it is subsequently attached to or embedded
in.  Note that if you make substantive changes it becomes a deriviative.
