Would not the same copyright law apply to GPL and other licenses? Also,
I'm not a copyright lawyer by any stretch of the imagination, but this
seems to imply that the grant of the license may only be revoked during
a 5 year period following the conclusion of a 35 year period where it
cannot be arbitrarily revoked. It also requires that advance notice be
given in writing which is signed by the copyright owner(s). Again, not
a copyright lawyer, but this subsection doesn't have me overly
concerned. I'll have to check my book on copyright at home to see what
it says about implied copyright and terms of licenses.

That's why I like the New BSD license ...

The most prominent and relevant part of the BSD license is:
Copyright <year> <copyright holder>. All rights reserved.


The problem with the BSD license from a consumer's point of view is that
there is no statement of duration of the license. If I understand
correctly, it can be terminated at any time by the copyright holder
under subsection 203 of Title 17 USC:
