The reason GPL exists is because of current IP. Stallman believes in all source code being open and treated no different than a cooking recipe. GPL was created to use existing copyright laws to fight with proprietary software.
So if we had no copyright, GPL wouldn't even be needed.

Not exactly. He doesn't want people modifying the recipe and keeping it a secret. Or atleast, not distributing food made from that recipe. (I know that analogy breaks down here.. but I tried!)
