I get people want the ghost of Stallman dead for whatever reason, but no, you don't get to just wave that away.

You seem to grossly misunderstand what "spirit" means here, because you described the letter.

No. The preamble to the GPL describes the spirit. Here's a direct quote.

>the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users

And that part's still the same. You can share and change it as you wish.
