That's a really brilliant tautology. "If I never use the GPL then the Supreme Court ruling doesn't apply"! Clever. Really clever.
If you choose not to avail yourself of the permissions granted by the GPL, then you are not bound by it. The Supreme Court says that a contract cannot bind a non-party. Both of these things are simultaneously true. You seem very confused. Certainly if you choose to accept the permissions of the GPL then you license the covered work at no charge to all third parties under the GPL, but that does not bind the third parties to anything unless they too choose to accept the permissions of the GPL. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
