The GPL is hijacking IP to create a consumer right to repair that should exist but doesn't.

Total IP abolition in combination with a strongly enshrined right to repair, which would necessitate access to source code of binaries given, would be perfectly in the spirit of the free software movement.

I would add that it RMS would actually prefer that over current GPL. GPL was created as a response to current IP laws trying to use it against itself.
