Subject: Successful DMCA take-down of GPL licensed work.

https://gitlab.com/MikeeUSA/GPC-Slots-2/
Is gone after a successful DMCA take-down by the Author (MikeeUSA).

Backstory: Author (MikeeUSA) revokes license from "JohnDoe".
"JohnDoe" defies revocation and uploads the work to gitlab.
"JohnDoe" modifies work to "remove sexism".
MikeeUSA issues a DMCA take-down request to gitlab.

Gitlab understands that a license, absent an attached interest, is 
revocable.
"JohnDoe" did not pay MikeeUSA for a license, was a gratis license.
DMCA take-down is valid.

Yes, the GPL _IS_ revocable.

And _YES_ the gratis Linux Kernel programmers CAN revoke their code as 
counter-stab against the speech codes that women (and their support) are 
attempting to muzzle them with (The "CoC")
