IANAL but can't revoke the GPL

Someone is loosing the plot to believe that they can revoke a license given under the GPL for source code. IANAL, but one cannot revoke the license of source code, under the GPL or any other license just because you feel like it.

I have revoked the licensing under the GNU General Public License (herein after referred to as "the GPL") for the atscap version 1.1 codebase, all prior versions of the atscap codebase and all the various release candidates of the atscap codebase.

I have also revoked the licensing under the GPL for the pchdtvr version 1.0 codebase, all prior versions of the pchdtvr codebase and all release candidates of the pchdtvr codebase, including all of the various interim pchdtvr versions after version 1.0 and before the name was changed to atscap.

See this post over at Groklaw for more information about why the GPL License is a Non-Revocable license.
