Note that this is NOT a contract; you have no proof that the violator
accepted it. The GPL itself recognizes this issue, in the very same
clause you quote. I think all you can do is punish the violator for
unlicensed distribution, not enforce the GPL on the violator's code.
In any case, it is presumably legal to post a patch "for discussion
only" under the fair use exclusion, which would require no license.
