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 in the company. My company sends me to legal training courses on a regular base and for this reason, I am able to judge on whether a person tries to 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:

*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
