Hi list What are the implications of GPL-licensed code being used in a purely cosmetic way in commercial products (such as hollywoodish hacking scenes)?
Someone pointed out a scene from the american TV show Burn Notice[1] that includes code which can be traced back to a personal website [2] which explicitely releases the code as GPL. Note that the author might have been contacted by the studio and given explicit permission. I'm curious what the show's obligations are in such a case. Thanks!
