Definitly you cannot revoke GPL for a old version to someone who
actually received the old version. However, Joerg S could claim that he
never really licensed it to the GPL (and then we have to prove he had),
and also, if he distributes the files as GPL but not according to GPL
(e.g. the make files are GPL-incompatible), distributing binaries by us
is illegal.
