Nimmer: "Beyond contract interpretation issues, the viral terms of licenses present legal issues about enforceability. One basis for challenge lies in the concept of misuse.98 This theory precludes enforcement of intellectual property rights that have been misused by the rights owner, including at least in some cases by attempting to leverage the rights into control of products or work that falls outside the scope of the licensors property interest. Clearly, the viral terms in an FSOS license do this, but whether courts would hold that they are justifiable by the nature of the context and the purpose behind the license terms remains to be seen."
