Alain: I read the article. It seems to me like the guy
is saying that someone is using his GPL-protected code
to make some proprietary software and/or that the
author of the latter is not willing to release his
code changes, as is expected with GPL.
> Guy thinks he can make people who download his
> binaries give up their right to source under the
GPL.
Alain: This is not my interpretation of the article at
all. Are we reading the same article? Could you
clarify your interpretation above please. You seem to
be saying that if we download any of his stuff, then
we will no longer be GPL.
> Hopefully, he gets a nice 20-ton LART in court.
> If he wins on the other hand.... Very Bad Thing.
Alain: If my interpretation is correct, then his
success in court would be a good thing. It would mean
that GPL-licencing is enforceable in court. Anyone
using a GPL licence could thus be reasonably sure that
the licence's conditions will be respected.
