Yes, but first this comes out of local jurisdiction (which is - judging
from your email address - Russia and I know nothing about Russian law)
and second this cannot invalidate some parts of the GPL and leave others
intact.
-) US copyright allows you transfer the copyright completely without
   trace or whatever.
-) Austrian authors rights simply disallow transfer of the authors right
   (it ceases 70 years after the death of the author) but you can sell
   the use of your work.
   And to actually have authors rights on your "work", you need a
   substantial amount of work. So e.g. fixing typos or obvious bug fixes
   in source code is not enough to make it a "work" in the sense of
   Austrian author's right system.
And in each and every case if you can't or won't comply to the GPL, you
loose all rights from the GPL (and this rule is pretty uncontested in
court in Austria, Germany and the US up to now AFAIK).

No, but it can invalidate it and then you loose all rights which may be
given to you beforehand.

But this can't and/or doesn't remove the GPL from busybox and each
"producer" of these "non-GPL products" must at least offer the source
code and build description  (+ toolchain if necessary) for the GPL parts
of that product.
