Copyright licenses are a subset of general contracts, and they have certain special conditions which apply to them which do not necessarily apply to contracts in general. Within a copyright license, "perpetual" is taken to mean "from the date of the grant of the license to the expiration of the copyright". This kind of language has been deemed necessary because it is now impossible to state with any certainty when, if ever, a copyright might expire. A "perpetual" copyright license (like the OGL) is >not< terminable at will by the parties.
