Perfect example of a condition!

*****************************************************************
Restatement (Second) of Contracts
ARTICLE 224

Condition Defined:
A condition is an event, not certain to occur, which must occur,
unless its non-occurrence is excused, before performance under a
contract becomes due.
*****************************************************************

Prithee Hyman, tell us what conditions stated in the GPL must occur
*before* performance (copyright permissions) become due.

Heh. Heh.
