And for that matter, it seems that at that point, the original author
doesn't have the right to just keep a copy under the terms under which
they intended to release it...  Thus the issue.  (It turns out that
GPLv3 is pretty deeply problematic for me; it turns out that I'd rather
just let people like TiVO play stupid games than have to deal with v3.)
