Do you seriously want me to hit download button "sufficient" number of
times? Hey, global warming, you know.

You don't get it. Downloads aside for a moment, suppose I admit
copying. You are not going to claim unauthorized copying on my
part. All those copies are lawfully made thanks to your unilateral
permission. Quoting Moglen: "The GPL, however, is a true copyright
license: a unilateral permission, in which no obligations are
reciprocally required by the licensor." The simple thing is that
subsequent REdistribution doesn't violate your copyright (17 USC
109) and hence just can't violate your copyright license no matter
what it says and/or implies with respect to copyright law in the
GNU Republic, so to speak.
