[License-discuss] GPLv3 'permanent' license reinstatement?

[Thorsten Glaser]

Kevin P. Fleming dixit:

>As I read this, if I violate the license terms, notice my own
>violation, cure it, and at no time does anyone else notify me of my
>violations, then my license is reinstated *permanently*. If the

The reinstatement is permanent, not the licence.

After the reinstatement, another violation will terminate
the licence again.
