Music has the score and the final song. Give the same score to different
groups and you will get to different songs.

That's as if you'd say, that every programme gets the "code" just be
executing the program...

Oh, at the moment I am just talking about freedom. The freedom to take GPL
code, modify it and sell the result without releasing it under GPL.
