If the GPL would state something along the lines of

"Terms and conditions. All rights under 17 USC 106 are granted to you
for 1 (one) year provided that you purchase more than $100 of
http://shop.fsf.org/category/gnu-gear/ goodies in the previous year. End
of Terms and Conditions." 

THAT WOULD BE A *UNILATERAL* CONTRACT.

Got it now, Hyman?
