Hmmm ... has there ever been a test case regarding the GPL?
If legal action is required, who is the plaintiff? The author of
the GPL'd software? How would that author take on a behemoth
like MS in the courts? How would the courts view the GPL?
Hopefully, copyright law ultimately protects the copyright owner
according to the licence he or she has published alongside
their work of art.
