nur einseitig verpflichtend, weil nur der Schenker leisten muss.

The GPL is not a Schenkung since there is no transfer of ownership.
It is actually not true that it is nur einseitig verpflichtend since
ownership implies duties.  For example, if I make a Schenkungsvertrag
over a bunch of toxic waste cans on public ground, it becomes the new
owner's responsibility to move them away safely.

If I make a Schenkungsvertrag over a horse, it becomes the new owner's
responsibility to provide basic care and feeding or face animal
protection laws.

Hey dak, just to clarify: the point was not that the GPL is somehow a
unilateral contract (it's obviously a bilateral boiler plate contract
form, not unilateral) but rather that even gifts are contracts under the
German law. A totally gratuitous IP license IS ALSO A CONTRACT, silly
dak.

Whether this [act] constitutes a gratuitous license, or one 
for a reasonable compensation, must, of course, depend upon 
the circumstances; but the relation between the parties 
thereafter in respect of any suit brought must be held to be 
contractual, and not an unlawful invasion of the rights of 
the owner.

Hth, silly.

alexander.

 you crackpot dak.

A Schenkung is einseitig verpflichtend between the parties of the
Schenkungsvertrag, however, as a consequence of the transfer of
ownership, the Verpflichtungen connected with ownership will be
established for the new owner.

For this reason among others, you can't do a Schenkungsvertrag without
the consent of the receiving party.
