Actually rjack predicted the SFLC would move to dismiss the lawsuit
prior to any **Motion to Dismiss** by the defendants being heard by the
court.

The SFLC can never allow a court to actually review the GPL on its
merits. They would appear as crackpots with their "no contract" theory.
The SFLC filed the lawsuit to gain maximum FUD mileage out of the GPL.
They will limp along propagandizing until a Motion to Dismiss is filed
-- then they will dismiss and argue that the GPL "won in court".
