   .oO is code downloaded from github conveyed by Microsoft? e.g., if I get GPLv3 code encumbered by Microsoft patents from Microsoft's servers, wouldn't I and downstream be safe from Microsoft's patent attacks WRT that code per GPLv3's terms?

     IANAL, but AFAICT the answer to my question is no. per section 10, a patent attack after conveyance would then amount to copyright infringement, but section 11's license of essential patent claims applies to contributors only, not to mere (re)distributors
