Has the requirement to share source code to other programs ever been tested in court?
For example, based on that could I release a web server and then sue anybody who wouldn't provide source code to their browser to me?
- jbeard4 8y agoI don't know about RPL, but GPL has been tested a lot. For example, in the early 2000s, Linksys was forced to release the source code of their router firmware. This project was forked and is now maintained in the OpenWrt embedded linux distribution. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenWrt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenWrt Here is a list of GPL enforcement cases from the Free Software Foundation: https://wiki.fsfe.org/Migrated/GPL%20Enforcement%20Cases https://wiki.fsfe.org/Migrated/GPL%20Enforcement%20Cases
