We'll see how much of the GPL will survive SCO vs IBM lawsuit. To me,
it seems to be a brilliant play on part of one "multibillion company" 
to provoke "legal review" of FSF's stance. I mean IBM's almost-
literal-cut-and-paste-from-Moglen's-papers GPL violation filing 
(contract vs "unilateral copyright permission" aside for a moment). 

Go read SCO's latest court filing.
