What in the world are you talking about? In order to make and
distribute copies of GPLed works, you must include the GPL with
the copies you make and distribute. What's a future copy?
Are you trying to say that because the physical process of making
a copy may involve multiple steps, or that the final copy
consists of more than one file, this somehow invalidates the
requirement?
Alexander is trying to explain to you that a requirement qualifies
as a condition precedent to a copyright grant if and only if the
requirement *must* occur *before* the grant of rights becomes
effective (contract performance). Obviously, the requirement
cannot depend on the grant of rights it claims to condition.
"ARTICLE 224
Condition Defined:
A condition is an event, not certain to occur, which must
occur, unless its non-occurrence is excused, before performance
under a contract becomes due.";Restatement (Second) of Contracts
I know you can't understand this concept (linear ordering of events
in time) so just deny it and call every thing you see in a copyright
license a "condition".
You'll be legally incorrect in most cases but it'll make you
feel better.
