Comment The GPL is relatively untested in court (Score 1) 457

Interesting analysis, but almost everything positive for Linux is predicated on the fact that the GPL is bulletproof and will hold up as valid in court. As I understand it, the GPL has never really been tested in a case like this. There's no guarantee that it provides the protection that folks seem to be hoping for. Look at the way the DMCA is being tested in courts now... to the point that it's validity is being called into question. I wonder if the basic premise of the GPL will hold up under that kind of scrutiny. Especially when direct financial support for the legal expenses are lacking.
