Does the following help, Hyman? http://terekhov.de/2009-1221/AppelleeBrief.pdf
Not in the slightest. The amicus brief is correct. The harm done by violation of open copyright licenses is irreparable and immediate precisely because it is non- economic in nature. Harm caused by typical copyright violation is repaired by forcing the violators to pay what they would have paid had they proceeded legally. Once open-licensed code is distributed to users without making them aware of their extra-copyright permissions, the interests of the copyright holder as expressed by his license can't generally be recovered because the users aren't tracked. Naturally the appellee brief will argue against this, but that doesn't mean they're correct. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
