I like your edit with the exception of one cut comma, which isn't strictly
necessary, and this paragraph:

    The GPL, a copyleft license, essentially says that you're free to use the
    software for any purpose and that anyone to whom you give the software
    must have all the rights you had when receiving the software to study,
    modify and re-distribute the software.

Since you joined what were previously two sentences together, it's now
redundant to say both "all the rights" and then to list those rights without a
bit more fiddling. I think if we strike the word "all" it will suffice. This
reads a bit more cleanly:

    The GPL, a copyleft license, essentially says that you're free to use the
    software for any purpose and that anyone to whom you give the software
    must have the rights you had when receiving the software to study, modify
    and re-distribute the software.
