Your understanding is in serious question.

From www.gnu.org,

``Free software'' refers to the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. More precisely,
it refers to four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software: 

- Access to the source code.
- The freedom to run the program, for any purpose.
- The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs.
- The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor.
- The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits.

Dan's software satisfies all these criteria.

If you are complaining that you can't hack this software and release it
_under the same name_, then you better remove all that GNU software you
have as well.
