I was explicitly cc'ed on this thread by visionsofalice. I've read the whole thread, and the only useful thing I can contribute here is to agree with Greg and additionally provide some backup research on the point: https://sfconservancy.org/news/2018/sep/26/GPLv2-irrevocability/ Software Freedom Conservancy engaged our legal counsel to write a new section for the Copyleft Guide that further explains the irrevocability of GPLv2. We published this when others raised these specious claims back in September. Direct link to new section: https://copyleft.org/guide/comprehensive-gpl-guidech8.html#x11-540007.4 HTH, -- Bradley M.
