Please note (and this is apparently settled case law in the US) consideration != money. The licensOR benefits by gaining access to other works (in particular, if I modify a GPL'd work my consideration is access to the work I modified), therefore as soon as two copyright holders are involved, both are deemed to have received consideration in the form of the other person's work. And if the law said "consideration must be money", how would the barter economy work? Cheers, Wol
