It was explained to you many times that CAFC's opinion (authored by a
district court judge from New Jersey sitting by designation and
apparently having trouble to grasp California contract law regarding
conditions and confusing the concept of conditions with license scope
limitations and consideration in the form of compliance with licensee's
obligations) in the Jacobsen case is *non-precedential* amusing
BULLSHIT. CAFC has no authority to establish precedents in copyright
licensing matters.
