GPL loophole

Program X is GPL'd. You want to modify it but don't want to release your modifications. Slightly modify the source of X so that it can dynamically load foreign executable code. Have it load your proprietary additions.

Release the source of your Program X fork as GPL, but do not reveal the source of your proprietary additions.

But personally, I rather get rid of © and patent. In Nature, they do not make sense. In the subdue-[the earth]-and-rule-over-everything-in-it mentality, it makes perfect sense.
