The “software freedom law center” is who is bringing the charges, which is probably just another front for Stallman like the FSF and GNU groups, and yes I hope they lose and this tricky license of theirs is shown to actually be a contract, but non-binding since they don’t have it in writing that any tricky contract was agreed to by all parties.

Thank you, while although it wasn't a straight "yes" or "no" answer, it was sufficient to prove my point.

Ladies and gentlemen there you have it this is the *first* time on FreeRepublic I have ever seen someone advocate for people to have their property and rights taken from them solely because of a dislike for a third parties political positions.

Oh, and to follow up, you do realize that even if exactly what you say comes to pass, this puts the people you're cheering on in a worse light, because then they have absolutely no license or contract to even possess or use the code that they've stolen, let alone modify and redistribute it? In the absence of a valid license, it would revert back to copyright law...
