Which groups? What are their reasons?

That's good news from Japan, but it doesn't prove that the GPL is invalid 
elsewhere; it was carefully crafted to not require adaptation to national 
laws.

Most people don't go to court when violating the GPL, because it's difficult 
to win against it; the NetFilter vs Sitecom case is a good example.

I don't see much differences since the CC promote the use of free licenses.
Are you suggesting to wait many years before using the CC licenses?

The GPL is very simple: it makes any user not respecting it a counterfeiter.
It might be difficult to understand (like most licenses), but not to apply.
