The CAFC has ruled that these requirements are not meaningless.

You are confused.  The BSD license is about "copyright holders who get a
thrill out of seeing their name in print".  The GPL license is about
copyright holders who get a thrill out of seeing other contributions in
code.

but that is meaningless to me.

Laws don't depend on you seeing a meaning in them.

Who is talking about the law? I was talking about whether or not the lawsuit helps mankind and it plainly does not. It is just an ego trip for the authors and a quick buck for the shysters.

I think that it speaks ill of those egomaniacs who want to create such
a ruckus just so that the world might see how smart they are.
Pathetic.

Pathetic is not the worst description of your self-contradictory
ill-informed ill-judged postings.

Oh, you loonies just don't like to admit that your cause is fundamentally worthless in this day and age. No one takes apart complex applications in order to change them, there is no value in having all those restrictions as posed by the GPL. The actions of the SDLC prove that it is only viable as a way to harass those who might want to take advantage of FOSS. With that kind of trouble, the users will be fewer than otherwise.
