The fact is that the GPL price-fixes IP at zero. The fact is that 
zero is below cost of IP creation and hence is predatory. As for the 
rest,

"Held:

      1. Actionable "antitrust injury" is an injury of the type the 
antitrust laws were intended to prevent and that flows from that which 
makes defendants' acts unlawful. Injury, although causally related to 
an antitrust violation, will not qualify unless it is attributable to 
an anticompetitive aspect of the practice under scrutiny, since it is 
inimical to the antitrust laws to award damages for losses stemming 
from continued competition. Cargill, Inc. v. Monfort of Colorado, Inc., 
479 U.S. 104, 109 -110. P. 334

      2. A vertical, maximum-price-fixing conspiracy in violation of 1 
of the Sherman Act must result in predatory pricing to cause a competitor 
antitrust injury. Pp. 335-341."
