When you receive code under the GPL it doesn't matter what the GPL says either -- the GPL is preempted under 17 USC 301, unenforceable
under contract law and the doctrine of copyright misuse.

The only thing that might happen is the SFLC will sue in Federal
Court and then voluntarily dismiss before the defendant ever has
a chance to file a motion to dismiss.

He. He.
