Has the GPL (or any open source license) been tested in court? Or are we just going on our collective opinion of what the licenses mean? Forgive me if I'm just not privy to any precedent. I've only been a "full-scale" open source adopter for less than a year and have limited knowledge of its history (only what I've gleaned from Eric Raymond's book and website). But I can't help but wonder if we all just *assume* the GPL has legal clout. I know part of what we hope to get out of the SCO fiasco is validation that our licensing models work. But have they been proven thus far to protect our IP while providing the appropriate freedoms? Just wondering, Greg __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
