The answer is the same for any of the GNU licenses and for any of their versions, but in general you will somehow decide there.

If you draw knowledge from all sorts of garbage dumps instead of authentic sources - under GNU licenses this is (suddenly!) gnu.org ; then sooner or later you will not just not understand, but will misunderstand. Which is much worse.

Yes. And commercial too. As is almost¹ any free software license.
___
¹ There are a number of very old and very marginal licenses that allow you to exercise your right to distribute changes only in the form of distribution of differences ("patches"). They are still considered free.
