you have not paid for the license, you have no remedy in court. I
suggest you read the relevant sections of The Transfer of Property Act
and the Indian Easements Act. For example, I own some land and allow
(give a license to) the local cricket association to use it for
cricket without payment. They build a stadium. I revoke the license
without cause. They cant get compensation for their stadium. If they
had paid for the license, i could still revoke without cause, but then
they have a case for compensation. Good faith etc etc only applies if
you have paid for the license. And the GPL nowhere promises that the
license given is not revocable.
There is a doctrin in contract act that says that a promise made can be
enforced even without consideration if the person to whom the promise is
made has acted in good faith and made a financial commitment. If you
give a license to the association and they build a stadium, you will
have to compensate them if you withdraw the license before the period
promised in the license.
There were examples of this doctrine given in our text books when we
studied law.
