The Windows EULA is a straightforward legal contract, while the GPL is a
pile of nonsense.
First... Apples and oranges. A general license applicable to all GPL'ed
software whether for usage or development, versus a specific product license
restrictly solely to usage. You can't change a byte of Windows code yourself.
Second... You are free to choose GPL 2 if desired, as Linus Torvalds has done.
It's a bit less restrictive.
And you actually simplified it a bit, as there are also GNU Free Documenation
and Library GPL licenses.
If I were you, Winboi, I'd hire an attorney :-D
