Re:GPL too entrenched to subvert in court? (Score 1)

You're missing the point. If a corporation is restricting re-distribution modified GPL code you don't have to sue them. Just start distributing it. Make them sue you -- and if they file a suit, countersue for court costs. I still think the best thing for the federal and state governments to do to Microsoft is not to threaten breakups or fines. Just tell MS to behave responsibly or refuse to prosecute any copyright infringement suits on Microsoft's behalf. With a threat like that if MS doesn't co-operate they'll disappear. Redhat & Caldera and Corel are selling support, MS is selling freedom from prosecution for piracy. If it's legal to avoid paying MS (or the Justice Department declares it is) millions of folks would jump at the chance!
