There have been violations of the GPL, but they've been dealt with quietly and have not gone to court. See Eben Moglen's Article about GPL enforcement.
In the Unites States, there is already a law covering that known as FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act). At the college level grades are not supposed to be released to anyone but the student. Parents can't be shown grades even if they are paying for their child's education.
As part of a project I'm working on, I sometimes need to do administrative tasks on a W2K server in another town. If MS would provide a decent shell that has access to the entire OS and an SSH service, remote administration would be relatively painless. VNC over a dialup connection is a pain.
Of course there's a branch of CS that studies parsing. It's called the Theory of Computation. Any good introductory Theory of Comp. book will give you an introduction to parsing. Any decent book on compiler construction will give you the gory details about implementing parsers. What do they teach CS students these days, if a senior doesn't know this?
When I read _A Fire Upon the Deep_ I realized that this was a computer geek of some sort writing after I had read several of the "Galactic Usenet" posts that started each chapter.
When I was in junior high, I once spent most of an afternoon with one of my older brothers (a college professor) seeing who could build a structure out of Legos that could survive a fall from ceiling height.:-)
Actually, being able to exploit apache could lead to root access even if apache is running as another user. All the attacker needs is to be able to exploit a buffer overflow in a userland program to gain root access. IIRC, that's what happened in one of those cracking contests few years ago. A security problem in a cgi script was exploited to run a user program which was exploited to gain root access.
An important effect of this finding is that Microsoft will be held back from their usual tactics for a bit longer. It is no coincidence that the various PC manufacturers have been emboldened to offer alternative operating systems during this trial. Even if the judge does not rule against Microsoft, we have a little bit longer to firmly position alternative OSes in the marketplace.
Zope uses "persistent CGI" which means there are a couple of Zope processes running that handle incoming requests rather than having to restart python over and over.

Would those "diligent researchers on Wall Street" be the same ones responsible for the Internet bubble?

In rural areas cats are kept in barns and other such
buildings to keep the rodent population under control.

Sound drivers are included as modules. No recompile is
necessary.

You might want to take a look at Zope.
