In contract rights, any important term present in the text of contract.
Right?

Any verbal agreements are not valid. Right?
Any phone talks before are not valid. Right?
Only text of contract.

Text of GPL contains any words about terms of delivery sources?

Very exact phrase. It means for me personally:
    in the text of GPL there is no any terms about WHEN to deliver.

Then what "contract rights" you mean?

A) some another law?  Which? Of which country?
B) or users must sign additional contract to GPL?  :-)
C) or ... ?

And which term of delivery then is maximal?
Is it the same for all GPL "contracts" or it can be different?


================================
Okay, I think we can stop this thread.

I think readers already have to see how easy can be catched
"own understanding" of licenses. Even lawyers can do long time
wars around this :-)

Thank you for your opinion. :-)
