I can't post a correct reference as I've read about it in the german magazine "c't" from "heise" in 2004 and I don't have the old ones anymore. however, if you need some reference about the GPL and german court, just have a look here:
http://www.jbb.de/html/?page=news&id=32 it's also from the year 2004; you will find a short (german) opberview as also links to the complete text from court ( as pdf, in german and english ). ( but it doesn't cover the act against hardware vendors that have closed source drivers ).
but I will do some research later this weekend. best regards, JBScout aka Thomy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
