    Keep in mind that the GPL has, to my knowledge, never actually been
    tested in court.

    I don't doubt that Stallman and the FSF lawyers did their homework and
    worked to craft something that has a good chance of standing up.
    However, the fact remains that it's a sufficiently radical/novel use of
    copyright law that there's no guarantee that the conditions it imposes
    are enforceable; the wrong judge could easily rule otherwise.
