Uh, Alexander? Reality check. It is his copyright which lets him sue
for compliance of the license terms. If he had no copyright, no
license or contract or whatever else could be asserted without a
written and undersigned statement of the recipient.
So whether you want to call it "contract claim" or "copyright
infringement claim", the only thing that makes _either_ hold is the
actual copyright. And that is meant by "assert his copyright".
