Seems like you left off the more important part of the quote, "... and not have to
contribute." That is to say that you're free to do what you will with the code as long as
you redistribute your changes. It's a simple requirement. Tat for tat.

Stallman believes, rightly, that the freedom of the user is ultimately preserved through
the freedom of the code; hence, there are restrictions on redistribution in order to
guarantee the former. His writings are quite clear on this point. Nobody is lying; you are
just willfully refusing to understand.
