In that case ask your lawyers. I don't know the legal system in China. However, I do believe if the license is not valid because it is written in English and not Chinese, then the default license applies. And I do believe the default license will be no copying permitted just like in other countries. If so, it will be the defendant that suffers instead of the plaintiff.
If the judge cannot handle the case because his English is not good enough then the standard response is to send it to another who can, or get it translated by an independent legal translation service. As such, I won't put too much weight on the hearsay. Best Regards, Cinly ***** I do not read footer and will not be bounded by them. If they are legally enforceable then this one always triumph yours. On 26 January 2015 at 13:42, Maxthon Chan <xcvi...@me.com> wrote: > That incident is only heard from friends.
