This is so patently untrue I cannot imagine how you got here. 

GPL == GP License

Nothing under GPL is 'owned' by me. It is 'licensed'. I didn't create
it so I don't have any rights other than those granted me. If you own
something you can do anything you want with it simply because you own
it. If it is licensed you must follow the terms of the license
specifcally because the real owner only grants you the rights in the
license.
