[SASAG] Repent!! The end is near!

[Jeff Silverman]

I am not a lawyer. Maybe it is time to organize a class action lawsuit.  The
members of the class would be anybody who has ever GPL'd some software or
documentation.  The cause of action would be inappropriate (as described in
the GPL) appropriation of our intellectual property.  The damages would be
the loss of reputation resulting from reduced distribution of the
intellectual property.
