Perhaps. I think this possibly exposes a drafting flaw in GPLv3's
definition of "convey", one I've thought about before in one or two
other, very different corner-case software-related contexts. (Although
perhaps many people on this list wouldn't consider it a flaw - I'm
suggesting "convey" wasn't intended to have as broad a meaning as
this.)
