It shows that the court utterly ignored GPL's "automatic termination"
and Moglen's "not a contract" lunacy. The decision contains nothing to
back your claim that "the terms of the GPL are thoroughly legal". There
was no holding that "the terms of the GPL are thoroughly legal" -- it
was not necessary to rule on invalidity of the GPL 2b because the court
handed a defeat to MySQL on other grounds (other than
invalidity/unenforceability of the GPL 2b).
