According to this paper,
<http://www.fenwick.com/docstore/Publications/IP/IP_bulletins/IP_Bulletin_Fall_2006.pdf>
estoppel claims could in fact apply to GPL cases,
but in the opposite way than anti-GPL cranks hope.
A distributor of code under the GPL who asserts
patent rights to prevent an invention embodied in
the code from being practiced could have estoppel
claimed against him.

According to this paper,
<http://www.sapnakumar.org/EnfGPL.pdf>
the GPL is not a contract.
