What does it matter what a software engineer from Baden Württemberg thinks about GPL enforcement? Do you know something about him that I don't?

Just that he is one of the most prolific (and successful) people at enforcing the GPL in court. Probably even more so than the FSF. (Note that the FSF prefer to settle out of court. I think Harald does too, but living in Germany he's much more trigger-happy about getting injunctions, as he has to be because of the peculiarities of German law.)

PJ, don't you think that Terekhov is behind Versa-Bosch-Humax-Western Digital-Samsung attack on the GPL as well? See 1:09-cv-10155-SAS Software Freedom Conservancy, Inc. v. Best Buy Co., Inc. et al. Versa: "On information and belief, Defendant alleges that Plaintiffs claims are barred, limited and/or excluded on the grounds that the alleged license at issue in this case and/or certain provisions contained therein are illegal, unconscionable and barred by public policy as well as by statutory and case law." Bosch: "The GNU General Public License, Version 2, as alleged by Plaintiffs, is not enforcable." Humax: "Plaintiffs are not entitled to the relief sought because their actions constitute a misuse of the copyright." Western Digital: "Plaintiffs claims are barred by the first sale doctrine." "Plaintiffs claims for relief are barred by the First Sale doctrine." Samsung: "As a further, separate and distinct Ninth Affirmative Defense to the Complaint and each claim for relief alleged therein, Defendant alleges that Plaintiffs claims are barred by the doctrine of copyright misuse. Defendants are informed and believe, and on that basis allege, that Plaintiffs claims are barred because Plaintiffs have used the alleged copyrights at issue in this case to engage in anticompetitive behavior under United States law." "As a separate and distinct Twelfth Affirmative Defense and each claim for relief alleged therein, Defendant alleges that Plaintiffs claim for copyright infringement is barred under at least the provisions of 17 U.S.C. § 109(a), as Defendant was licensed and any copies alleged to be infringing were, therefore, lawfully made."
