Sure. It seems to fit the definition of a unilateral contract. So?
When a store offers to send you some money after you buy a certain
item, they do not say they are offering you a unilateral contract.
They say they are offering you a rebate. When a store offers to buy
back an item you purchase if you do not like it, they do not say
they are offering you a unilateral contract. They say they are
offering you a money-back guarantee.

Software universally comes with license agreements, so the GPL is
a license.
