http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doctrine_of_the_General_Talking_Pictures_Case
"The Doctrine of the General Talking Pictures Case (or General Talking
Pictures doctrine) is based on the decision of the US Supreme Court in
General Talking Pictures Corp. v. Western Elec. Co.,[1] which legitimated
so-called field-of-use limitations in patent licenses.
The decision held that "field-of-use limitations" on the scope of patent
licenses to make and sell a product were enforceable, by way of a patent
infringement suit against a licensee that violated the limitation and a
company collaborating with it. A field-of-use limitation is a provision in a
patent license that limits the scope of what the patent owner authorizes a
manufacturing licensee (that is, a licensee that manufactures a patented
product or performs a patented process) to do in relation to the patent, by
specifying a defined field of permissible operation or specifying fields
from which the licensee is excluded. By way of example, such a license might
authorize a licensee to manufacture patented engines only for incorporation
into trucks, or to manufacture such engines only for sale to farmers. If the
licensee exceeded the scope of the licensee, it would commit patent
infringement. More generally, this kind of license permits the licensed
party (the "licensee") to use the patented invention in some, but not all,
possible ways in which the invention could be exploited. In an exclusive
field-of-use license the licensee is the only person authorized to use the
invention in the field of the license.
The General Talking Pictures doctrine does not apply to a patent owner's
sale of a product to a customer that imposes a restriction on what the
customer may subsequently do with the product. Such sales are governed by
the "exhaustion doctrine," rather than the General Talking Pictures
doctrine."

"No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor
The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a
specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program
from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research. "
