GNU GPL insures that a software is "Free" (as in Freedom), making sure that users not only have the right to see the source code, but modify it in any way they like it as long as they license the modifications under the GPL, too. See the link to Free Software vs. Open Source for more details.

The GNU General Public License was originally written by Richard Stallman for the GNU mass-collaboration software project. Like Creative Commons and other copyleft systems, it is a broad license that allows users to freely use, copy, and modify software. Copyright automatically gives the creator of a sufficiently creative work, including the author of computer code, the exclusive right to copy, alter, distribute, or perform/display the work, or authorize others to do so. It's the automatic aspect that unintentionally makes it awkward for creators wishing to freely share their works, but it's the right to authorize others that makes these extremely broad licenses viable: the GPL, Creative Commons, etc. work alongside copyright. Licenses such as the GPL encourage sharing and collaboration by allowing users to distribute and modify programs without constantly having to seek additional permission from the copyright holder, and they let the copyright holders spend time on new projects instead of constantly responding to licensing requests.
