The GPL is a straightforward copyright license. Each time a court
has had an opportunity to read it, they regarded it as such. There is
no promissory estoppel because the GPL explains exactly what you must
do in order to gain permission to distribute.

To which federal courts are you referring, Dear Hyman, Dear Hyman?
There's a hole in your bucket, Dear Hyman, Dear Hyman!
