Not that there is such a place. But the ProCD case has shown that courts will honor shrinkwrap licenses, and I believe there are more cases where courts have upheld terms of service on websites, and so forth. It's thoroughly unlikely that any court will sever the permissions of the GPL from its requirements in the way that the skeptics appear to hope.
