Is Wallace really helping his case by mentioning this? Unless..... Is Wallace implying that the GPL is somehow illegal because it places restrictions on TRUE "non-parties" because it says they can't modify and distribute the code unless they accept it's terms? Surely not. MS says you can't even USE their software (much less modify and distribute it) unless you agree to the terms of the license, while the GPL doesn't have that restriction, making MS's license more restrictive to "non-parties" in that respect.
