The GPL is the most widely used open source license on Earth, yet it has never been tested in a U.S. courtroom.

That's not to say that alleged GPL license violations aren't already hitting the country's judicial system. In fact, the Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC), a pro bono legal firm assisting open source projects, has filed three different actions concerning the GPL this year. Two of those lawsuits came just last week.
