Sun has released more Java software (the lightweight UI toolkit) under the GPLv2, with the classpath exception. It should be abundantly clear at this point that industry regards the GPL and other such licenses to be valid as written, whether or not the law would actually hold that way should they be disputed. If it should turn out that the courts do not uphold the validity of these licenses (which, given the JMRI case, appears unlikely), then I believe you could shortly thereafter expect congress to change copyright law to make them valid. After all, agencies of the U.S. government itself distribute software under the GPL: <http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/info/license.cfm> _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
