Non lo dice esplicitamente, infatti, ma è quel che ho capito io, per
questo chiedevo conferma.

Bozza, sezione 2:
   Propagation of covered works is permitted without limitation
   provided it does not enable parties other than you to make or
   receive copies. Propagation which does enable them to do so is
   permitted, as "distribution", under the conditions of sections
   4-6 below.

Commento alla bozza:
   The term ``propagate'' serves two purposes. First, ``propagate''
   provides a simple and convenient means for distinguishing between
   the kinds of uses of a work that the GPL imposes conditions on
   and the kinds of uses that the GPL does not (for the most part)
   impose conditions on.

   Second, ``propagate'' furthers our goal of making the license as
   global as possible in its wording and effect. When a work is
   licensed under the GPL, the copyright law of some particular
   country will govern certain legal issues arising under the
   license. A term like ``distribute,'' or its equivalent in
   languages other than English, is used in several national
   copyright statutes. The scope of ``distribution'' in the
   copyright context can differ from country to country. We do not
   wish to force on the GPL the specific meaning of ``distribution''
   that exists under United States copyright law or any other
   country's copyright law.

   We therefore define the term ``propagate'' by reference to
   activities that require permission under ``applicable copyright
   law,'' but we exclude execution and private modification from the
   definition. Our definition gives examples of activities that may
   be included within ``propagation,'' but it also makes clear that,
   under the copyright laws of a given country, ``propagation'' may
   include other activities as well.
