via Open: Ted Mittelstaedt, provides food-for-thought in his article, "GPL: The Test Case That Never Was" "In my view, grandstanding and opinion are part and parcel of GPL advocacy and last week's article containing the MySQL claim that the GPL license has been strengthened by the MySQL AB vs. NuSphere case comes as no surprise."

Are you writing software that that you plan to distribute? If so, you need to take a look at the licensing options that are available to you. How will the highly publicized decision last week in MySQL AB vs. NuSphere court dispute, influence you, the independent developer?
