Judges can err. Well, Judge Tinder actually performed not entirely bad before he got drunk. As for you, stupid ams, I'm still waiting for the chapter and verse from the copyright act about copyright licenses not being contracts. In the mean time, take this: ------ An intellectual property license is a contract. In re: Aimster Copyright Litigation, 334 F.3d 643, 644 (7th Cir. 2003) (If a breach of contract (and a copyright license is just a type of contract) . . . ); see also McCoy v. Mitsuboshi Cutlery, Inc., 67 F.3d 917, 920 (Fed. Cir. 1995) (Whether express or implied, a license is a contract governed by ordinary principles of state contract law .) An industry-wide license such as the GPL may establish a prima facie case of conspiracy in violation of the Sherman Act §1. See U. S. v. U. S. Gypsum Co. 333 U.S. 364, 389 (1948). ------ regards, alexander. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
