I realize that you do not desire that the GPL work as written, but if you think 1927 patent decisions are going to affect the plain meaning and enforcement of open licenses, you're sadly mistaken. We see that from the MySQL/Nusphere case and from the CAFC model railroad appeal. We see that from defendants invariably choosing to settle and comply with the GPL rather than claim the ability to copy and distribute code in defiance of copyright law. You may spin and twist, twist and spin, but the GPL will continue to work just as its visionary author intended, and as all industry behaves, for GNU/Linux, for GCC, for Mozilla, and for so much more. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
