But if Joe publishes an offer, and then retracts it, the retraction takes effect even if copies of the (former) offer are still in circulation.There may be an issue of estoppel, but - at least in Australian law, which is my home jurisdiction - I'm not sure that a gratuitious offer of the sort you've described would generate reasonable reliance.In your example of Sam, of cousre Sam wouldn't owe Joe money - Sam never entered into a contract to pay for a licence to use Joe's work. But that doesn't mean that Sam's use of Joe's work is licensed, if Joe has retracted his offer.</blockquote>
