I did discuss the claims from Eduard Bloch with a German lawyer and
I have a US lawyer on the same floor (a few rooms besides) in my department

tell me rubbish or whether there is a serious legal background in claims.
If you like to understand the difference, I recommend you to read this:

to learn how decent legal arguments look like....

*You* are not a lawyer. Please stop linking this document. This document is
U.S. legal _opinion_ only and frivolous to the discussion at hand.

You have stated in other communications that the majority of European union
law is based upon French and German Law. Your naivety in this regard should be
a warning to everyone following this thread.

In other significant realms of the European union, jurisprudence and the
application of law is based upon Roman law and common law. It would be common
practise in such legal systems to mediate such a dispute as you have mentioned
as a civil matter. Subsequently, your claims of illegality may likely be
baseless in many European countries and as such you may well find your claims
unfounded elsewhere.

It is my stern opinion, that if you truly believe you have a legal matter to
resolve with regards to the software you mention in this threaded
communication; you should directly employ the services of a qualified legal
solicitor and direct them to to attempt a resolution of any such dispute
through proper channels.

This is not the correct communication channel to discuss any perceived legal
matter with regards to software used by the openSUSE project. You should
direct your communications that pertain to legal matters to the openSUSE
elected board [1]. You can send direct queries to the openSUSE board mailing
list <board@xxxxxxxxxxxx> or contact the board members directly [1] if you
wish a greater degree of privacy.

openSUSE is a community project whose members have indicated they wish to
abide by the project's guiding principles [2]. If you feel that use of certain
software contradicts these principle then you should take steps to try and
resolve the matter.

Please be respectful of the choice of our community, we love open software and
we hope others enjoy our great selection of free and open software.

This email is not on behalf of, requested by, or for any openSUSE member, or
any openSUSE board member. This email reply is my personal opinion. It is
thoroughly considered and you would be well advised to take heed and regard it
as such.

Have a lot of fun...
