As far as I know this is NOT allowed by the GPL. I mean the whole Linux 
kernel and most of the Software in the Linux world is released under the 
GPL, and I never heard of a case where this happened !!!

Tell me one example were GPL code was "revoked" and I'll rethink my 
situation!

Holding the Copyright (Urheberrecht) of a GPL licensed software means 
nothing more, that you define yourself as the creator and responsible 
for the software, altought you gurantee that it works "WITHOUT ANY 
WARRANTY", like stated in the header of any T3 class.

AFAIK not even Microsoft gurantee you that the software MS Windows(TM) 
works for your particular purpose. If it doesn't work for you I think 
you have the right to give them your Windows CDs/DVDs back in some 
granted time.
