No legal dilemma involved. The most relevant case law on this is; Nine Network Australia Pty Ltd V Icetv Pty Ltd [2007] FCA 1172 9 Network: "Those IceTv doodz steal our copyright." Federal court of Oz: "Oh no they don't." So publish away at your hearts content. If you get monstered by the TV companies lawyers point them to that case. Oh, and just casually mention that the Zinwell DVB-T decoder violates the GPL. If they want to get into a cat fight over copyright breaches surrounding TV broadcasting in NZ, ask them if they feel lucky? This legal advice is worth what you paid for it. Cheers Ross Drummond
