§158 covers "Rechtsgeschäfte" in general, of which contracts
("Verträge") are only one special case. A licence by GPL is an
"einseitiges Rechtsgeschäft" (something like "unilateral legal
transaction"), not a contract. As such it is covered by the laws
concerning "Willenserklärungen", not "Verträge".
If you bothered actually reading the laws in context, this should not
have escaped you.
