Parent article: The GPL Is a License, not a Contract

The combination of sections 4 and 6 of the GPL seem to cover this. They
don't have any time limits and they make it clear that the grant of
rights is renewed everytime a work is distributed for the third party and
that the rights are granted only as defined in the license.

Under what conditions can someone normally back out of a contract?

This would seem especially difficult if the other party had acted on the
grant of permissions believing them to have been granted by the license
and believing they had met all obligations of the agreement.
