If you receiveed (or downloaded etc) a copy of the code with
the GPL license in effect, you can continue to use that code
under the license terms that were given to you (gpl in this 
case).  

If, for some reason, you were to get the same code, but not under the gpl,
then you could not redistribute that code as gpl.  Telling the difference,
of course, might be difficult.
