Why is that requirement? Even as a mere "user" of any software
distributed under the terms of the GPL, I have the right to have access
the sources and to redistribute, modify, ... them

Why should only the originator of a contribution resp. "a piece of
software" be entitled to enforce disclosure of sources?
