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

Not what I said at all of course, nowhere did I say the owners should have their rights to their property taken away. Go ahead and beat up all the strawmen you want, but the lawsuit is over copyLEFT, which is unproven leftist theory.

The implication of your post is very clear, if you care to retract it Im all ears..

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.

So you hope that the court rules that Monsoon, against the wishes of the copyright holders, acted appropriately in taking and using code in a manner not permitted by the owners.

Regarding the part in bold. I am assuming you think the BSD license should also be invalidated? After all I have used many BSD distros but I have never gotten anything in writing.
