A Beginner's Look At GPL Enforceability

sirmikester writes "I wrote a term paper for my University of Illinois law class about the enforceability of the GPL.

While a little bit rough around the edges, I'm sure it could give all of the non-technical folks out there a look at the GPL, and why its so important to all of us. There is also a powerpoint presentation available of the speech that I gave to the class about the paper. "
