That's great news! The GPL doesn't bind all those third party "downstream" recipients to the terms of the GPL!
Uhhh... Are you sure Richard Stallman approves of what you're claiming? Sincerely, Rjack :) --- "[I]f an extra element is required instead of or in addition to the acts of reproduction, performance, distribution or display in order to constitute a state-created cause of action, there is no preemption, provided that the extra element changes the nature of the action so that it is qualitatively different from a copyright infringement claim." Stromback v. New Line Cinema, 384 F.3d 283 (United States Court Of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit 2004) ---
