This is incorrect as far as my understanding goes.
The important difference is that EULA place restrictions on end users that have legally acquired the item after they have legally acquired it.
The GPL and other such licenses don't place *any* restrictions on end users at all. GPL restricts the *distribution* of the source code and the restriction is stipulated before it is distributed. That is all. Big big difference.
