I was explicitly cc'ed on this thread by visionsofalice. I've read the
whole thread, and the only useful thing I can contribute here is to agree

https://sfconservancy.org/news/2018/sep/26/GPLv2-irrevocability/
Software Freedom Conservancy engaged our legal counsel to write a new
section for the Copyleft Guide that further explains the irrevocability of
GPLv2. We published this when others raised these specious claims back in
September. Direct link to new section:
