- unnah 4y agoUnlike common law systems, in the continental European civil law systems there is no concept of a "copyright license" separate from a contract. The only way private parties can put obligations on each other is by contract. If someone creates derivative works of GPL software, they could of course claim that they have not accepted the GPL contract, but in that case they would plainly have committed copyright infringement.
