Re: [FYI] DANGEROUS LIAISONS – SOFTWARE COMBINATIONS AS DERIVATIVE WORKS?

[Alexander Terekhov]

The Prof. seems to be totally unaware of "Wallace v GPL" and yet he notes:

-------
a) Competition Law

As previously observed, the applicability and effects of competition law 
depend largely on the situation (i.e., on the affected markets and the 
parties' market power.)271 Thus, competition laws would probably play an 
insignificant role with respect to a relationship between two individual 
developers, but they could well come into play if a number of dominant 
suppliers272 or purchasers273 pushed to establish the GPL as a standard 
with the intent to drive "software only" companies from the market.
