STOP BEING UTTER MORON, dear GNUtian dak.

http://www.jbb.de/urteil_lg_frankfurt_gpl.pdf

The relevant part is (see page 11)

"Die Lizenzbedingungen des GPL sind als allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen
anzusehen, die einer Prüfung nach 305 ff. BGB unterfallen. Da die
Lizenzbedingungen des GPL ohne Weiteres im Internet abrufbar sind,
bestehen keine Bedenken, dass diese in das Vertragsverhältnis zwischen
den Urhebern und der Beklagten einbezogen wurden (§ 305 Abs. 2 Ziff. 2
BGB)."

http://www.jbb.de/judgment_dc_frankfurt_gpl.pdf

"The conditions [terms] of the license granted under the GPL must be
regarded as standard terms and conditions that are subject to Sections
305 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB). Since the conditions [terms]
of the license granted by the GPL are easily available on the Internet, 
they were without a doubt incorporated into the contractual relationship
between the authors and Defendant (Section 305, Subsection 2, No.2 of
the German Civil Code (BGB))."
