The GPL is a purported third party donee beneficiary contract:

    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
    parties under the terms of this License.

Notice that "licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties"
does not mean that there is any obligation to deliver anything to
them. It only means that third parties have license to the software
such that they are permitted to do anything they want with it as
long as they too follow the GPL.
