Open Source License Enforcement

A court has finally ruled that the GPL is enforceable. It’s from a Munich trial court. An English translation can be found here. A very interesting commentary to this case can be found at this link. The commentary suggests that licenses do not, or at least should not, exist under the law. Thanks to Larry Lessig’s blog for this information. A synopsis of this case can be found here.
