..yes ;o), copyright law (Åndsverksloven) has become far more 
militant the last few decades, so wehave penal provisions 
(straffebestemmelser) in "7. kapittel", and, the penal law 
(straffeloven) mentions "dekodingsinnretning", as in "pirated 
decoders" to watch etc "freebee TV", but the language in 
strl §262 also fits ISPs using etc pirated GPL etc software. ;o)

..note that "avtalelisens" may be the common EULA style, while 
GPL style licenses would be "tillatelse", "brukstillatelse" or
"kopieringstillatelse", an anti-GPL trap right there, AFAICT.

..politically. Stoltenberg and Faremo are old friends of Microsoft 
and the new Blonde Regime pretends it's all blind and deaf on NSA,
but the legislation and climate warrants the "can do" spirit now, 
amid caution. ;o)

..on strl §262, plenty on "freebee TV", but the ISPs will 
want it loud 'n noisy all the way up to Høyesterett. ;o)

..on copyright law, not too much, but some, e.g.

and some small timers, and:
