Do you really have so much problems with logical reasoning?  I get the

feeling that you are just trolling, nothing more.

This part grants you the right to distribute the software under the

terms of the GPL.
That means you receive the right to distribute the software under the

terms of the GPL.
This means you receive the right.
This means this right is one right of all the rights you received.
Hey, didn't (1) talk about the rights you received?  Now I wonder if the

right you just received is a right you received.
So, either:

a) you didn't receive this right, so you are not allowed to distribute

the software under the terms of the GPL, or
b) you did receive this right and thus have to pass on this right.  If

not, you're not complying with the GPL.  Which is okay, because
c) you can still distribute the software under the terms of the BSD

license, which nevertheless states that you have to retain the copyright

notice and the license terms.
It's really easy, almost binary:  Either you receive the right, then you

receive the right.  Or you don't receive the right and you can not make

use of the right.
But I guess you won't agree here, because this is logic, but you want

written proof.
