And expanded by the next recipient to GPLv2 or later, as long as the first
recipient does not make a substantial modification ("substantial" is a
copyright term - there is no precise definition how much must be modified,
but a line or two may not count as "substantial"). This is because you
receive the license from the original author, not from the man in the
middle.
No, you do receive the license from the person or entity you received
the program. You have an _option_ to go to the original author and get
copy of original code with original license (or maybe other license).
