Software universally comes with license agreements, so the GPL

Your babbling Hyman. Come on Hyman -- rejoin reality.
Perhaps Hyman could explain the following babbling:
http://www.fsf.org/news/microsoft_response
"Microsoft cannot by any act of anticipatory repudiation divest
itself ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ of its obligation to respect
others' copyrights. If Microsoft distributes our works licensed
under GPLv3, or pays others to distribute them on its behalf, it is
bound to do so under the terms of that
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ license. It may not do so
under any other terms; it cannot declare itself exempt from the
requirements of GPLv3."
In light of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticipatory_repudiation
"Anticipatory repudiation, also called an anticipatory breach, is a
term in the law of contracts that describes a declaration by the
promising party to a contract, that he or she does not intend to
live up to his or her obligations under the contract."
http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Anticipatory+Repudiation
"The unjustifiable denial by a party to a contract of any intention
to perform contractual duties, which occurs prior to the time
performance is due.
This form of breach, also known as anticipatory breach of contract,
occurs when one party positively states that he or she will not
substantially perform a contract."
LOL.
