Or if you simply read GPL code and learn something from it - or bits of the code are retained verbatim in your memory, are you (as a person) now GPL'd? Obviously not.


That probably depends on how large and how significant the bits you remember are. Otherwise one could take a person with photographic memory and circumvent all GPL licenses easily, by making that person type what they remember.
