So what?So if a court finds it cannot deal with a GPL copyright infringement claim because the particular infringed version isn't registered, the plaintiffs will register that version and bring the case again, just as the court suggested in the SimplexGrinnell case.
No GPL license infringement suit would ever survive to the discovery stage so the point is moot. The GPL is preempted under U.S. copyright law as well as being unenforceable under the common law of contracts. Sincerely, RJack :)
