    As the parties invoking federal jurisdiction, respondents
    bear the burden of showing standing by establishing, inter
    alia, that they have suffered an injury in fact, i.e., a
    concrete and particularized, actual or imminent invasion
    of a legally protected interest.

    The legal or beneficial owner of an exclusive right under
    a copyright is entitled, subject to the requirements of
    section 411, to institute an action for any infringement
    of that particular right committed while he or she is the
    owner of it.

Only anti-GPL cranks (or lawyers raising every possible defense)
believe that straightforward copyright infringement will not have
standing.
