So if the other user has added a new feature to the toy or made an improvement, I could also add the same feature or improvement in my toy without any restriction right? Provided that the license must remain the same under the license terms.
It seems so, just the restrictions mentioned in the license. According to TLDR;Legal (loved the name of the website, btw):
GPL v.2: You may copy, distribute and modify the softwareas long as you track changes/dates in source files. Any modifications to or software including (via compiler) GPL-licensed code must also be made available under the GPL along with build & install instructions.

Super thanks to you!
If I remember correctly there is also GPL v.3 out there too. Are there any key differences between v2 & v3?
This means there will probably be a third post! Let’s dig deeper! BRB
