"That is to conclude, by having a contract (a license is a contract), you lose your rights to pursue any IP/copyright claims (the two are exclusive in French law)."
So hold on..
Virtually all software comes with a license of some sort. This seems to be required in EU since otherwise you don't have the right to use software.
And now courts in France think that if there's a license (=contract) involved, then copyright cases are dismissed.
Does that mean I can wipe my butt with the French equivalent of copyright law (Droit d'auteur), as far as software is concerned?
