The meritlessness of that paper, at least insofar as it could create
problems for GPL enforcers, has been proven by the zero reaction of the rich
companies with big legal teams who stand to gain from creating such
problems.  So since there's no useful application for an analyses of why it
is wrong, I won't spend time doing that.
