As the underlying law (European Copyright) is valid for more people than US
copyright law, this seems to be an important information.
If the GPL was to be ruled null and void, it would be important information
and very bad news for OpenSolaris, which would then have a whole lot of GPL
code with no permission to distribute it. Ignoring all arguments about
whether GPL or CDDL is better, we need both for OpenSolaris to thrive right now.
