The GPL applies only to copying, modification and distribution. From the
GPL:
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are
not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act
of running the Program is not restricted...

No license is required to use a work. Legal possession of a copy suffices.
Copyright limits only the making of copies and the creation of derivatives.
The right to make temporary copies incidental to normal use as in copying a
program into memory is implicit.
