Actually, this is not true. The GPL was tested in a Germen court and survived very well thank you very much.
But this is not the most improtant point. The important point is this:
The target of a good license (or any legal document for that matter) is not to "survive" in court. The purpose of a good license is to be so iron clad clear that it never ever gets into court in the first place.
And this, my friend, is something the GPL has done *very well*.
