Actually, the GPL has a revocation clause. If you break it (like SCO's doing now with
requiring a second license), you lose the right to do the things the GPL entitles you, e.g.
putting Linux sources on a web server (something SCO still does). None of your licensees
do lose theirs, since they received a license from the original authors.
