Thanks Sridhar for clarifying further. When I said 'give back to
owner', I meant 'give back to community' since, my understanding is
that GPLed software ceases to belong a person and starts belonging to
the community.

But then, I should have used that word and as Rahul suggests, I better
read up :)
