I don't see any explanation of how the ruling will kill the GPL in the article, just a lot of hyperbole. Reading it a second time, maybe the author is just taking a lot of logical jumps that I cannot understand. Can anyone give me a reasoned explanation of what the author is trying to say?
- ocdtrekkie 10y agoOpenJDK was available under GPL. Android took copyrighted parts of that software (the API) and released it under Apache, violating the GPL.
