Go ask Barnes & Thornburg LLP. "[O]ne of the Midwest's largest law
firms" says that
"The GPL, like the shrinkwrap license in ProCD, is a license

(In ProCD the court then held the "license" valid and enforceable as a
contract.)

P.S. Never mind that EULAs don't convey any rights under 17 USC 106
(subject to limitations under 17 USC 117 and etc.) at all.
