That has always been my understanding as well. Furthermore, it is also my
understanding that no copyright license could possibly restrict what you do
with the code anyways. Use does not fall under copyright law, it falls under
contractural law. Copyright law deals with the act of copying.
In any event, the FSF seems to agree as well:
