I read plenty. We're discussing Kasakov's proposal that the legal system
should make no warranty licenses, e.g. GPL, void, and (correct me if I'm
wrong), "void" means having no legal value whatsoever, which entails that
the user is not bound to it. Note that under this system a really big lot of
licenses would be void. Probably the status of the 'licensed' work would
fall back to normal copyright law.
