Section 2 allows you to make copies under the terms of section 1, which
requires an appropriate license.  The GPL has some specific requirements
on licenses.  The work as a whole would included GPL licensed software.

And, just about everything you do with a computer involves making copies.

[Yes, I'm aware that some copyright laws make special provisions for
some of these copies -- but that's not a license issue.]
