That article isn't written by RMS, and the author has some relevant credentials.

You're right. I was mistaken -- I thought he was referring to those RMS claims that in general the GPL is not a contract.

In Moglen's article about enforcement, I think he's right that where there's a breach of GPL there is no contract. In fact that's what I said also in my follow up reply.
