As well, it is important to point out that the GFDL is a license agreement
and
as such falls within the purvue of contract law. See Knickerbocker Toy Co.,
v. Faultless Starch Co., 467 F.2d 501 (1972), Hanna Barbera Prods. Inc. v.
Screen-Gems-EMI Music Inc., 829 F Supp. 67 (SDNY) 1993, Living Music
Records, Inc., v. Moss Music Group Inc., 827 F. Supp. 974 (SDNY, 1993).
