17 USC 106, of course. <http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#106>
    the owner of copyright under this title has the exclusive rights
    to do and to authorize any of the following

Using his exclusive rights to authorize, the rights holder simply
states conditions that must be met for authorization to be granted.
If those conditions are not met, permission is not granted.
