i'd say that a license can exist without copyright law as it's a private contract. the way GPL is written it is creating an exemption of copyright, because copyright law exists - it would be useless otherwise :)

if these laws wouldn't exist, you still could either do a license as private contract just for using the software (the ususal EULA) or something like GPL allowing for more freedom.
