Yes.
A license may become void if the terms are not met, but I doubt the reader will still have to fulfill those terms once the license has become void.

Ah, are you talking about how, or rather when, a user of a work licensed under an open source/content becomes bound by the terms of the license?

Obviously you don't *have* to make use of the offer in, for example GPL. You are only assumed to make use of the offer if you do something for which you need the permission(s) license gives you. Publishing a derivative work is a good example. As long as you don't publish any derivative work the license remains unused.

Or as the CC licenses preamble put it: "By exercising any rights to the work provided here, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms of this license. The licensor grants you the rights contained here in consideration of your acceptance of such terms and conditions."
