Suppose I create a copyrighted work. I release it under a license such 
as GPLv2. You use it, in a way that requires permission of the copyright 
holder, but is in accord with GPLv2, so you are OK.

Suppose now that I transfer the copyright to someone else.

Do you now have something to worry about if the copyright assignee 
wishes to stop you from copying, modifying, and distributing the 
software?

The GPL is meant to be a bare license, not a contract, but doesn't that 
mean it provides no protection if the ownership of the work changes?
