Guess how many court cases has been about developers tainted from reading code.

1000? 1? 0?

Zero. You are about as likely to be tainted from reading GPL code as to be tainted by reading HN, the news paper, or driving around in silicon valley and looking at building with programmers in them.

You, I and common sense may believe that. However highly paid lawyers at very big companies has told me otherwise in no uncertain terms.
