That's a redherring statement because if your REALLY understood the GPL 
you would then KNOW it is based DIRECTLY on copyright LAW. 

So whatever "overrides" as you use the term. The GPL ALREADY has such 
powers (for a lack of a better word) based on statutory/case law that has 
been established by copyright issues/court cases/rulings/etc.

Wishful thinking also makes bad code.
