My question is this: by declaring the GPL as invalid, isn't that
non-acceptance of the license, which in turn invalidates your right to
distribute all GPL software?  (SCO does distribute Samba in its products, while
at the same time they have a document on their website declaring the GPL invalid;
See: http://www.thescogroup.com/copyright/ for details)

I believe acceptance of the license is required to distribute GPL products,
although IANAL.
