No, no - I'm not dismissing 17 USC 301 as idiocy, I'm dismissing
your ludicrous opinion that it applies to the GPL as idiocy. The
GPL is a copyright license and it operates under normal federal
copyright law. Your unwillingness to recognize this and the
resultant twisting and spinning required to justify it is what
demonstrates your idiocy.
Yeah...
"Although the United States Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. 101-
1332, grants exclusive jurisdiction for infringement claims to the
federal courts, those courts construe copyrights as contracts and
turn to the relevant state law to interpret them."; Automation by
Design, Inc. v. Raybestos Products Co., 463 F.3d 749, (United
States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit 2006).
