Since the law is not set up this way, the GPL was invented in the hope that so large a body of free software would be built up that it would put creators of non-free programs at a disadvantage.
Hymen this is probably the truest thing you have ever written. Kudos!! Filthy, filthy capitalism banished! If the SFLC believed for one moment that the GPL was legally enforceable in court they would have let their *first* Monsoon suit proceed to trial. The resulting publicity of an ENFORCABLE GPL would have spread across the world on the Internet. The great socialist revolution of Richard Stallman would have seized the software world. Champagne corks would have popped all over Venezuela. Never again would the mighty GPL be ignored!!! Instead the SFLC has filed and *immediately* dismissed, before a single hearing has ever been held, five (5) frivolous cookie-cutter lawsuits. You assume that the world is so gullible that they don't grasp that letting just one (1) lawsuit proceed would settle the GPL enforceability question once and for all. Pity you think the world is so gullible!!! The SFLC will *never*, *never* allow one of their frivolous lawsuits to proceed to hearing and trial -- because the SFLC *knows* that the bullshit GPL is *unenforceable*.
