Need help with possible GPL violation

Actually, the user must know what his/her rights are. Giving
permission on a legal document and stating otherwise in a
user-friendly dialog is hairy at least; I don't think the law allows
that (even if I can't imagine right now what's the name of the crime,
especially in English.

As for the GPL, I'm pretty sure when someone redistributes other
people's work license terms must not be hidden.  As a matter of fact,
you are not the copyright holder, so you can't dictate the terms.  And
stating terms incorreclty or in a misleading way ("oh, but the loader
referred to itself not to the loaded program. Wasn't it clear? I'm
amazed it wasn't. I'll fix it, sooner or later") is definitly some
form of misappropriation.

Again, you can claim something about my copyright and then not stand
by my words. It's not copyright violation, but it's something else for
sure.
