Can we stop these posts already?
About 280KB worth of e-mail has now be exchanged in discussing this topic, including the 'amusing' spin-off discussions.
It's certainly an important topic, if for no other reason than it has ramifications for other licenses beyond the GPL and, indeed, for the nature of Open Source. It also of course affects a large number of products and projects, although that is beyond the scope of the discussions here.
But at this stage, it might be worthwhile for all parties to acknowledge widely divergent opinions exist regarding the legality of the GPL (and have for a long time) and that the best way of 'establishing' its' legal basis is still to wait and see how it fares once tested before a court.
That may happen during the SCOX vs. IBM litigation.

A significant number of electrons were, however, severely inconvenienced.
Energy is your friend =)
Cheers, Nathan.
