Lets be crystal clear with my comment. Because the law tends to regard
"whole works" when determining compliance with standards, if any _part_ of a
document is not in compliance then none of it is. Therefore if the product
has non-compliant portions then the whole is non-compliant. Therefore the
"perpetual license" was not in existence for that product. You cannot pick
and choose, being OGL compliant is like being pregnant, you are or you
aren't period. It isn't taking away your rights because they were never
really there.

Let me be clearer here. They cannot revoke a perpetual
license to valid OGC by taking product off the shelves
because of a breach in some other part.
If they correct the breach then there is no problem.
I am using the OGC correctly and they are too now.
If they fail to correct the breach, the OGL is terminated
but sublicenses shall survive. I may be reading 13-OGL
wrong but that sounds like I get to keep using valid OGC.
