I see that you are now rehashing old arguments under a new subject
heading, having ended your previous flawed line of approach (i.e.,
that illegality of GPL terms makes them unenforceable) by entering
an infinite loop (i.e., that unenforceability of GPL makes them
illegal).
What's the authority for your claimed meaning for the word
"exclusive"? Some renegade web site like answers.com?
It's your turn Rahul. I have already posted the legal authority that I
relied upon. Do you have any authority that says it doesn't mean what
I claimed it means? If so, by all means post it.
On what basis are you denying copyright owners the right to
delegate licensing authority to others?

And finally, why is it that any time somebody points out a serious
flaw in your argument, you interpret it as an ad hominem attack?
What's your meaning of "ad hominem" -- does it mean "finding a flaw
in Rjack's arguments"?
There are no serious flaws in my arguments. Uh... I think you're a
teeny bit confused. Hard day at the office today Bunky?
Sincerely,
