In a landmark victory for the GPL licence, a civil court in Germany has ruled against D-Link Germany GmbH for violating the terms of the most popular free software licence.

 

"Previously, D-Link signed a declaration to cease and desist and paid my expenses for legal fees, test purchase and reverse engineering," explains Harald Welte. This time, however, D-Link refused to reimburse his expenses and sent a letter indicating that they didn't think the GPL was legally binding on them.

I moved this to portal news 'cuz I feel it's portal-worthy :P

Have any of you noticed the transformation (or maybe it's a metamorphosis)? Anyway, tyme not only looks like his brother, he is beginning to look and act administratively very much like spinynorman! :P

 

Do we have a mind-meld situation here? :unsure:
