Right.  That's not the same thing as agreeing to let someone take source
code.  If I agree to give you $10, I have not implicitly agreed to let you
pick my pocket to take the $10.

If I fail to do what I agreed to do, I have violated the agreement, and the
contract is voided.

It doesn't say it *anywhere*.  Section 4 is the section that describes the
consequences of violating the license agreement.  Please find a sentence in
the GPL that says anything about *taking* source code, as opposed to
*distributing* source code.
