Samsung and several other defendants disagree with you stupid Hyman.
Be careful here Alexander. Hyman has Pee Jay and Eben Moglen on his side. That pair of legal experts are renowned scholars who meticulously cite and interpret federal court decisions concerning U.S. copyright law. After carefully evaluating case decisions spanning the past eighty three years, Eben and Pee Jay have concluded that licenses are not contracts. Hyman is going to publish the Table of Cases Index amassed by Eben and Pee Jay along with all the settlement agreements signed by the SFLC in GPL cases. What'll we do then? I suppose we'll just have to wait until Hyman releases his documentation to decide. Sincerely, RJack :)
