GPL prevails again

Comments

Good

I just wanted to say that I think things like GPLs , Open sauce software in general, open source knowledge (Think Wikipedia), etc are some of the best things that man as a whole have done lately! It's the "right thing" to do imo, and its rare that people do that!

Case law is the monkey on my back

God, I hate those two words, ¨case law.¨ I´ve done a bit of research here in the US, not exhaustive, but a good amount, and I don´t think case law is legal, despite how often it is cited. I think if this whole idea of citing case law were declared invalid by the Supreme Court, and decisions only applied to their own cases, this country(the United States) would be tremendously better off.

Case Law

Is also known as common law. The US court system is based on the English system.

If it were eliminated, common law would have to be replaced by statutory law, and our state/national congresses can't get their work done as it is, we don't need them worrying about amending or clarifying laws to apply to every individual court case.
