Is the GPL actually viral across dynamic linking?

I thought that was the excuse touted in the US? aiui everyone here just treated eulas as unenforceable because they're contracts of adhesion. (The problem comes when they come with technological enforcement measures.)

I would have thought the reason everyone trying it in the UK settled before the case went anywhere, would be because the victim screamed "Scam!" and plaintiff decided discretion was the better part of valour.

As a private individual, I'd demand my money back under SOGA, and while that doesn't apply to businesses I can't imagine a judge looking favourably upon similar shenanigans against a business.

Cheers,
Wol
