There is a case going on which can impact not just the copyleft licenses but even the non-reciprocally licenses:"I don't think the community realizes that if the Ninth Circuit upholds the lower court’s ruling, it won’t just kill GPLv3," PureThink's John Mark Suhy told The Register. "It will create a dangerous legal precedent that could be used to undermine all open-source licenses, allowing licensors to impose unexpected restrictions and fundamentally eroding the trust that makes open source possible." from: "Adverse appeals court ruling could kill GPL software license" https://www.theregister.com/2025/02/27adverse_appeals_court_ruling_could/ Kudos to Thomas at The Register for spotting and covering such an important case. The FSF, EFF, OSI, SFLC, LibrePlanet, and others have been disappointingly quiet on the case. It's getting a bit late. What is the best way to nudge the aforementioned institutions into checking the case out and, if possible, filing an amicus brief? /Lars _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
Thanks, I didn't know anything about this either, I think you are right the WHOLE community is quiet why??
