Regardless of its purpose, USC 17 203 (especially 203b1, which still applies to 203a5) is there. It says that you can continue to abide by the terms of an otherwise-terminated license for a derivative work, and it lays out some pretty onerous terms for terminating the license in the first place.

But I've backed up my case -- where's your evidence that a copyright license can be revoked? How does it fit into USC 17 203?
