The GPL sets conditions for acquiring permission to copy and
distribute a covered work. No non-parties are bound by the GPL unless
they choose to acquire the permissions offered by the GPL. This is
consistent with the quotes.
That's a really brilliant tautology.
"If I never use the GPL then the Supreme Court ruling doesn't apply"!
Clever. Really clever.
ROFL. ROFL. ROFL.
