The basic concept of how we ask you consider sharing a game is to treat it like a book or CD. Of course you can loan your buddies or family members your book, but while they're reading it, you can't. Once they're done with it, when they give it back you're free to play it again*.
Of course, we don't have any DRM, so you can make your own decisions on this and we have no way of checking in on you or enforcing that, but that's the rule of thumb that we use for sharing a game you've purchased on GOG.com.
*or they can be like my buddy Josh who's had my copy of Freedom Force for ten years now. Not that I hold a grudge or anything. :P
