I have a GPLv2 shirt
Between the license discussions here and digging through my disorganized closet for something to wear, I remembered that a couple years ago, a friend gave me a shirt with the GPLv2 preamble on the back. Here's a picture:

It looks original in style, until the reader gets far from the license text :)

I hope whoever created this derivative work sent a shirt back to Stallman. XXX-large.
If you are inside the shirt, are you subject to the copyright, and does it count as a modification?
A it's my least favorite license, I can see having one next to my Apple and Tesla T-shirts, ironically.

I'm not sure. I'm waiting to be sued by the FSF to find out
I suppose if I conceive a child while wearing the shirt, they would be a derivative work, and I'd have to make their DNA public, and provide instructions on recreation. Fortunately, this is only a theoretical problem as in practice, wearing the shirt makes for phenomenal birth control.
