Would David like to give us his opinion of the interpretation of the Gnu Public Licence under UK law? Ostensibly it purports to allow copying of the specified work by anyone, subject to a requirement that the same licence is attached to any (possibly modified) copies made.
I have not read it for at least four years ... It applies US law ...
Yet, it achieves wide and free distribution _not_ through creation of a 'public domain' non-coyright item, but rather through the assertion of copyright, and the issueing of licences with conditions. Those conditions dangle only from teh copyright.
Yes, but the point of interest was whether, having once distributed copies of the work with that notice attached, you (or your creditors) could subsequently try to put the cat back in the bag by way of forbidding further copying (ignoring that actual practicalities of doing so, for the sake of discussion).
