... As long as the other party (i. e., the recipient) accepts
the license in full, and remains in full compliance.
AIUI, the copyright law (in most, if not all, jurisdictions)
explicitly prohibits making of copies without consent of the
copyright holder ("first sale" doctrine, and "for the purpose of
backup", put aside.) Virtually the only way for the one making
a copy of software under GNU GPL to gain such a consent is to
accept and comply to GNU GPL.
