Perhaps Hyman could explain the following babbling: http://www.fsf.org/news/microsoft_response "Microsoft cannot by any act of anticipatory repudiation divest itself ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ of its obligation to respect others' copyrights. If Microsoft distributes our works licensed under GPLv3, or pays others to distribute them on its behalf, it is bound to do so under the terms of that ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ license. It may not do so under any other terms; it cannot declare itself exempt from the requirements of GPLv3." In light of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticipatory_repudiation "Anticipatory repudiation, also called an anticipatory breach, is a term in the law of contracts that describes a declaration by the promising party to a contract, that he or she does not intend to live up to his or her obligations under the contract." http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Anticipatory+Repudiation "The unjustifiable denial by a party to a contract of any intention to perform contractual duties, which occurs prior to the time performance is due. This form of breach, also known as anticipatory breach of contract, occurs when one party positively states that he or she will not substantially perform a contract."
