No set percentage of changes under 100% will make a work exempt from copyright infringement. There are guidelines, but in the end it's up to the judges.bob wrote:Check the GNU GPL agreement.

The GPLv2 is no more restrictive than copyright. It is only a license to use copyrighted material, not an EULA. I think this is true of GPLv3 as well.
