>>> No no no. Licenses are NOT contracts.
Yes yes yes, licenses are contracts.
That just got set in stone by the French appeal court and backed by a decision from the CJEU few months before (the European court of Justice).

- dominicjj 5y agoEnjoy. I'm sure I'm not alone in completely ignoring the opinion of French judges and the European Court of Justice.
- stale2002 5y agoIf you don't care about what the courts say, I am not sure why you are making legal claims here. When it comes to legal matters, the only thing that matters is the opinion of the court system.
- ben0x539 5y agoJust for context, the author of the article you're commenting on is Julia Reda, a EU copyright activist and a former member of the EU parliament. While I likewise don't have too much use for the legal opinion of French courts, I think we can afford to cut her some slack for focusing on legal interpretations in her native jurisdiction.
- dominicjj 5y agoFair enough. She is correct about licenses in her jurisdiction.
