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.

The Surprising History of Copyright by Karl Fogel, is pretty good.

While paper and pen, as well as a computer is a tool, that should be protected by PROPERTY Rights, works of art and expression should not be viewed as property or tools. Other laws should be considered to protect your arts like libel and freedom of expression.

However, that does not desist the application of contracts during sales. When you sign your EULA, you are bound by contract law and its consequences.
