So what? The GTP case demonstrates that rights holders may establish limits through clearly expressed licenses. That the limits there are scope-of-use and the GPL's are source-with-distribution doesn't mean that the general principle is different.

The GPL can't set scope-of-use restrictions on distribution of a
derivative work "as a whole" because no such exclusive right exists.

For the umpteenth time Hyman, no matter how many times you claim
there is an exclusive right to distribute a derivative work "as a
whole", no such exclusive right exists.
