Deletes last sentence of 1st paragraph of automatic licensing provision.

Substantially the same sentence is at the end of section 6 of
GPLv2. This sentence seems pointless; who could reasonably argue that,
as a condition of the copyright license, the licensee is responsible
for enforcing compliance? (It would be interesting to research the
early history of this sentence, if possible.)
