Copyright violation just can't seriously come into play regarding
software available under a "free" software license. The license scope is
unlimited. And even if you effectively terminate the license ("automatic
termination" won't fly) there's nothing preventing D from becoming a
licensee party once again (and again, and again, ...) at the moment of
effective termination of the previous transaction (the license is
offered to the general public).
