The GPL Won... Again!
http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20080508212535665
The GPL Wins Again - Welte vs. Skype Technologies SA (Germany)
"Well, today was the hearing, and Welte reports that one of the judges told Skype's lawyer that if a copyright owner wants a publisher to publish his book in a green envelope, it might seem odd to the publisher, but he can't publish without the green envelope. In short, don't touch the GPL code if you don't follow the requirements of the license.
"Like it or lump it. I think that's how one would translate into English the judge's mindset."
