Here are the *verifiable* and *sworn* "stated goals" of the Free Software Foundation:
No, that's just the lawsuit. The lawsuit is filed as a copyright violation claim, with the attendant requests for relief based on that claim. The claims in the suit are not the goals of the FSF, just the tactics used to achieve their goal, which is compliance with the GPL, stated here <http://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/>. As always, compliance with the GPL is voluntary, so the FSF cannot sue to demand compliance. But there is no other legal way to copy and distribute GPLed software, so the FSF sues for copyright violation. It's up to the defense to assert that they are using the GPL for permission, in which case the onus is on them to show that they are honoring its terms. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
