Downloads aside for a moment, the GPL permits reproduction, and, under
the idiotic "not-a-contract" theory, it just can't compel me to
relinquish the distribution right that I enjoy under the copyright
law (17 USC 109) being the owner of all those NEW "particular copies"
that I've lawfully made: I can distribute them as I see fit (apart
from rental) without the authority of the copyright owner. There's no
copyright infringement and there's no contract violation ("no contract"
says FSF). That's it.

alexander.
