Good analysis of the recent Artifex ruling. It does not uphold the GPL or count as precedent. It does reiterate there are potential merits to Artifex' case and also give credence to GPL as an enforceable contract. It also says contract monies are not necessarily the only revenues associated with making software freely available. Several layers of appeal are still available, but it's a quite favorable​ lower court ruling
