You probably know that, but just to mention: in Germany the GPL (and if
I'm not mistaken, the LGPL too) has been approved in court several times
now. Though the issue was always about some vendor not adhering the
"contribute back" part of the license. The court argued that even if
someone might come to the conclusion that the GPL is not valid wrt
German law, there would have been nothing that allowed the vendor to use
that source in the first place.

Regards,
Martin
