But I got a question: Just the other day I found out that in Germany, there is no such thing as a "Copyright" - the "Copyright" is an american thing. The closest thing in Germany would be the "Urheberrecht", IIRC.

If Microsoft can sell in Europe, some kind of patent must hold.

Now my question is, if there is no equivalent to the US-Copyright, does the GNU GPL hold in Europe?
The copyright does hold. In Italy, like everywhere it exhists. Names are different, some terms differ, but the core meaning is the same...
