The GPL is a License not a contract.[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#10)

I hate to disagree with Groklaw, but a license is a contract. And by the definition of license at the link provided an EULA is NOT a license. Regardless the FUNDIMENTAL issue is that the "licensee" must get something that they do not have otherwise - pretty close to the classic definition of a contract. Basically, a License is a type of contract.
