GNU GPL - Copyright helps Copyleft
What we've learned


Copyleft-style licenses can be enforced!

Even corporations with large legal departments who should know
Reasons unclear, probably the financial risk of infringement was considered less than the expected gains
The FUD spread about "GPL not holding up in court" has disappeared
