Terry Lambert <tlambert2@mindspring.com> writes: > A contract is only valid if there is consideration exchanged. I've read it both ways. From http://www.duhaime.org/dict-c.htm (the site supposedly belongs to a lawyer) Consideration is not required in contracts made in civil law systems and many common law states have adopted laws which remove consideration as a prerequisite of a valid contract. Others have said that judges consider the most inconsiderable things to be consideration. And there's always consideration involved whenever anyone bothers to threaten suit over GPL infringement.
