I think you mean the Artistic license. If you just grab GPL code (even perl code, where there is no distinction between binary and source) and redistribute it as your own, you are quite likely to be in violation of the license.
(Update: I think this is a violation even under the Artistic license. Both require mentions of the licensing terms to remain, which kind of foils an attempt to pass it off as your own.) | [reply] |
Really? Why don't you post that part of the GPL?

You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source
code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this
General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any
other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License
along with the Program.
Distributing modified copies has even more strict terms.
