I was not aware of this. Cite, anyone? It would be impossible to "toss out the GPL". A Court may decide that the GPL is non-enforcable, or does not apply, but this would only be for the case under review. Unless decided by a State's Supreme Court, or a Federal Circuit Court, it would not set precedent. Even in the latter case, I doubt the facts of the SCO vs IBM case would be similar to the earlier case, so no precedent could be cited. Courts do not "toss out" documents. Courts (both in India and the US, derived from English Common law) decide on the facts of the *current* case, not on abstract issues. In India, the President can ask the Supreme Court to review the legality of an issue, but no one else can. Again, does anyone have a cite for the US case mentioned above? -- Sanjeev _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
