"65. Among the "further restrictions" that the GPL and LGPL do not
permit are royalties or licensing fees (Ex. 27 2, 3; Ex. 26 2, 4)
(although fees can be collected for "the physical act of transferring
a copy" of the code or for warranty protection). (Ex. 27 1; Ex. 26
1.) If modified works or machine-readable versions of GPL- or LGPL-
licensed software are distributed, they must be licensed "at no charge
to all third parties under the terms of this License." (Ex. 27 2
(emphasis added); Ex. 26 2; see also Ex. 27 3; Ex. 26 4.)"
