Re:Nuts. What does this do to other "contracts"? (Score 1, Informative)

IAAL, and Oracle has a solid case here. If they are able to prove that the said licensee unknowingly disclosed that the license is a contract, even though such may not be the case, then the plaintiff has a full legal discourse available to collect the aforementioned damages. The communistic nature of the GPL, and especially GPLv3, could easily prove to be detrimental to the FSF stance that it protects users' freedoms. In the eyes of the court, it may as well mean that it restricts users' freedoms by restricting their rights as to what they are allowed to do to the software. In that case, the most likely outcome is GPLv3 being outlawed, while GPLv2 would suffer greatly due to its association with the FSF, Once again, IAAL.
