Shortly after I posted the root node I had a discussion with someone else who made the same point, and then the FSF press releases have stressed it.

She was leaning against granting MySQL AB a preliminary injunction on the copyright issue because the harm that would happen during a case from continued distribution is not irreparable to MySQL. That says nothing about her thinking on the likelyhood of ruling for MySQL AB.

Incidentally one comment that I saw from someone who was there was that she didn't understand that by linking they meant something different from hyperlinks. Before she can give a real ruling, she has some learning to do. :-)

Cheers,
Ben
