Drop a note to Edwards of debian-legal and ask for a copy of his "Will 
the Real GNU GPL Please Stand Up?"

This document represents the author's best effort to identify the 
principles of common law, Federal statutes, areas of state law (with 
reference to the California Civil Code), and appellate precedents 
that would apply to the construction of the GNU GPL in a "GPL 
violation" court proceeding.

Uhmm. Oh wait, I suspect you're in Europe. Go ask Welte's lawyer(s) 
http://www.ifross.de and/or http://www.jbb.de) why the GPL is a 
contract in the EU civil law countries too.
