Not quite true, I'd think. The license also grants you the right to use the
software. Before that is granted you're not allowed to use it. The license
does, however, grant you the right to use it however you see fit. Is this
the freedom guarantee that makes knowledge of the license irrelevant until
the code is redistributed?
