Since you're using the term "Willenserklärung" I deduct that you're a Germany based lawyer. Especially since you're clearly referring to §133 BGB of German law. In 2004 German judiciary was one of the first to confirm the terms of the GPL 2. Many of your misunderstandings are covered in the opinion of the court. http://www.jbb.de/html/?page=news&id=32 (There's an English translation, too). Note how a fine distinction is drawn between distributing the software which might occur in any way at any cost (as long as the license is kept in tact) and offering the source code of the distributed program. Costs for the later are limited by the actual costs of the act of transferring the source code.
