So that will mean that after the GPL is revoked, you can not use the software ?
yes - you cannot
Sorry to barge in. I reread the GPL V2 again, but could not understand how a GPL V2 license can be revoked? Once the software is released it is out of the hands of the releaser. Can some one please point out the clause under which a license can be revoked (unless the license clause is violated).
Of course It is not clear to me what happens with a new release. Is it a derivative/modification of the old GPL release software or a new program? If it is a modification then in my understanding you can not release it under any other license.
Thanks and regards.
