As far as i understand, GPL license is a "hack" for living in copyright world, until the abolishment of copyright.

Yes, this is called working within the system to subvert it. It applies copyright like no one else conceived of, at the time the GPL was created, to achieve an ends other than "make money".

If there was no copyright, or copyright is abolished, would there be a need for the GPL?
