In my eyes GPL doesn't say "give us", but "give those, who receive this
program by you".
And as I read the paragraph, it is about the copryright, not about rights
to "use" it. (Where use shall mean use,copy,share,distribute,modify,...)

Is it about termination in other cases or was it about termination if they
want it to terminate?
