I just now ran across a reference to an article that seemed vaguely
pertinent to Copyright-related stuff.  There was an article in
Technology Review, July 1989, page 16, titled "COPY FREE".  In quick
summary, the US Supreme Court said that states, as in state
universities, could "decline" to be sued in certain situations.  One
example of something that a state could decide not to be sued for was
copyright violations (and that's as far as I go -- I'm not clear on
whether it means that "states can ignore copyrights" or what).

So, any comments on how this affects the GNU Public License?  You may
infer from the fact that this went to court that in at least one
instance a state has chosen not to be sued (in this case, a state
university).  Are state universities under any obligation to pay any
attention to it at all?

Happy misc.discussing,
