Automatic GPL termination

Tinker writes Code and passes it to Evers under the GPLv3 with additional
permissions.  Evers strips the additional permissions and passes the
result to Chance.  This is just Evers modifying Code (as permitted by
the license of Code) and conveying the modified work.  Chance now has
a license direct from Tinker, so there is no sublicensing involved.

This is a Good Thing, because even if Evers's license is later revoked,
Chance's is not.
