This is going to be my ONLY posting on this subject. I will not reply to any comments on/to this posting, it is purely informational.

Are you sure GPL is really GPL and that you can transfer your rights and responsibilities regardless of where in the world you are ??

According to this:

GPL and transfer of rights may be overruled in terms of moral rights if local law says different.

The report by Prof. Dr. Gerald Spindler (in German)

http://www.vsi.de/inhalte/aktuell/studie_final_safe.pdf

Some people claim he's influenced by VSI (representative of closed source companies in Germany) but does it really matter, reports like this is poison to the open source community if they fall into the wrong hands.

EU Citizen and probably totally in the grey zone with respect to GPL...
