I will make it clearer in the following text:

The redistributors may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as
they receive it, in
any medium, provided that the redistributors conspicuously and appropriately
publish on each
copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that
GPL License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 of
GPL license apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any
warranty; and give all recipients a copy of GPL License along with the
Program.

I am sorry that I mixed the concept of verbatim copying(redistributing the
unmodified package) and convey a combined work(redistributing the altered
version of package.) People who wants to convey an unmodified version of
package does not need to concern about combined work, rather than he/she needs
to comply the section 4 of GPL license.

Thank you very much, you taught me a lot and made me clearer of understanding
the GPL license.

The situation that I will be the copyright holder of a work is that:
1st, I am the author of the work, I created the whole work.
2nd, I got a copyright disclaimer from my employer or school, and I claim that
I am the copyright holder.

The situation that I won't be a legal copyright holder of a work is that there
is no explicit text of the work claimed that I am the copyright holder,
neither I did not get a copyright disclaimer from my employer or school.
