At most it would be a license contract breach, not tort (copyright
infringement) because the licensee who made 'further' copies made it
within the scope of licensed *reproduction* right (no 'conditions' at
all having nothing to do with copyleft 'conditions' for distribution of
copies made) and owns the copies made... hence doctrine of exhaustion
regarding distribution right shields licensee against copyright
infringement claims.

What is so hard to understand here?
