Under the German copyright act ONLY EXCLUSIVE LICENSEES CAN SUBLICENSE.
Non-exclusive licensees can NOT sublicense no matter what the license
says.
For example, the MIT License
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php
"the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute,
sublicense,"
is VOID regarding sublicensing under the German law.

be infinitely looped as GNGNGNGNG...NGNGNG... and can be said backwards
too, whereas GNU cannot.)
