No doubt about that. But why is this of any importance? 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?

Do we know anything that you 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.)

See 1:09-cv-10155-SAS Software Freedom Conservancy, Inc. v. Best Buy Co., Inc.

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.

Huh? That's exactly the same newsgroup message, looked
up in Google Groups. The message contains what seem to
be a variety of quotes from various sources and also (I
think) comments by you, without any indentation to show
which parts are responses to which other parts.

I suppose it's your choice as to whether you want your
posts to be incomprehensible instead of just wrong, but
I wrote just in case you prefer the latter and were
producing the former accidentally.

The point of communication is to communicate. If you
choose not to expend effort on making your Usenet posts
understandable (correct would be asking too much), why
would you expect that readers would expend effort to
understand them? Why would you pour a mess of text into
a Usenet post if you believe the better way to read it
is on a website? Don't you think you would be better off
being neatly wrong instead of sloppily wrong?

 The GPL grants anyone who enters into such contract with the licensor

And actually, Germany _does_ call things different.  The original text
is:

Diese drei Softwareprogramme werden ausschließlich unter der GNU
General Public License (GPL) lizensiert.

Die GPL gestattet jedermann, der einen solchen Vertrag als
Lizenznehmer schließen will, die Vervielfältigung, Verbreitung und
Veränderung der Software, wenn die Weitergabe ebenfalls wieder unter
den Bedingungen dieser Lizenz erfolgt, insbesondere auf die GPL
hingewiesen, der Lizenztext der GPL beigefügt, der Quellcode
zugänglich gemacht und auf einen Gewährleistungsausschluss
hingewiesen wird.

Translated properly: The GPL permits anyone who desires to enter into
such a contract as a licensee, the reproduction [...] as long as the
redistribution happens under the very same conditions of this license
[...].

So the wording of the verdict makes clear that the GPL is the
_permission_ to enter into a contractual relation, but not a contract in
itself.

Seems like the translation you cite does not fully reflect the original
wording.

When you have time for it, you may want to wipe the foam off your mouth.

Enforcement of the GNU GPL in Germany and Europe, by Till Jaeger 
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, April 03 2010 @ 12:07 PM EDT


Terekhov will not be happy about this article.


Pee Jay is the software world's embodiment of the current paranoid
Birther movement which claims President Obama is not a U.S. citizen.

Despite the fact that the Supreme Court held in 1927 that an
intellectual property license is a contract, Pee Jay continues
to claim that a license is not a contract to be interpreted under
state common law:

The GPL is a License, Not a Contract, Which is Why the Sky Isn't Falling
http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20031214210634851

Despite the fact that no U.S. federal court in the past 83 years
has held a copyright license to be anything other than a contract, Pee
Jay will remains in her cocoon of denial. Just as the Birthers claim
that the President's Hawaiian birth certificate is fake, her Groksters
will refuse to accept any court decisions of record.

Pee Jay has made voluminous citations to U.S. court decisions when she
has felt the need to support a legal claim. (She's a paralegal) So...
how many court decisions has she quoted to support her facetious claim
that a license is not a contract? Zero -- she can't because she is a
paranoid whack job. Arguing with Pee Jay is like talking to a wall. She
makes SCO's scoundrel, Darl McBride, seem almost honest in contrast.

Sincerely,
RJack :)

 I suggest you file a request for hearing en banc. If the
 price for doing it is a restraint, please let me know.

 This appellate level ruling completely peels The United States 
 Department of Justice's Antitrust Division off Microsoft's back.

 Microsoft is is now FREE,  FREE,  FREE to leverage its' software 
 patents against open source software. 

 This ruling signed a death warrant for free software. So why 
 intercede?

There are a lot of death warrants being signed for free software, not
least of all in this group.

 If there was any meaning, any point made in the snipped material, it
 totally escapes me.  Any chance you might like to restate your point in a
 concise and clear paragraph?  I'm assuming that you had some point to
 make.

The point is the following, silly Alan.

I think you are not understanding each other.
I think he meant Terekhov. 

He [Terekhov] is only significant if it turns out he's 
[Terekhov is] behind things like Psystar and Dan Wallace's
equally failed attack on the GPL.

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.
