Yes, of course it is copyright, "CopyLeft" is just a nikname for
software released
under GPL. Just to recall:

(from http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/copyleft.html)
" To copyleft a program, first we copyright it; then we add distribution
terms,
which are a legal instrument that gives everyone the rights to use,
modify,
and redistribute the program's code or any program derived from it but
only
if the distribution terms are unchanged. "
