> The plaintiff sued for counterfeiting, in French law (fair enough that’s a thing covered by intellectual property). > The court was the Tribunal de grande instance (TGI de Paris) that handles civil cases related to authors rights and intellectual property. > The court dismissed the case, stating it has nothing to do with counterfeiting (author’s rights or IP), it’s a contractual dispute. There is a contract between the two parties, the GPL contract, that puts obligations on both parties [and Orange didn’t fulfill its obligations]. I'm a layman, and as a layman, that sounds reasonable. GPL is a license, and under local law, a license is a contract. So the court asked them to fight in a commercial court that deals with contractual dispute. Is there a controversy that I failed to understand?
