The very important point that a jurist friend noticed: there were past or current contracts between Orange and Entr'ouvert. Extract from the appeal judgment: "However, it appears from the elements submitted to the proceedings that as early as 2004, the parties maintained business relations, during which the Orange company very quickly showed its interest in LASSO by requesting various information/trainings and services on this software." Training + Services = contracts. So the judgement actually makes complete sense. (Original text: “Or, il ressort des éléments versés à la procédure que dès 2004, les parties ont entretenu des relations d’affaires, à l’occasion desquelles la société Orange a très vite montré son intérêt pour LASSO en sollicitant divers renseignements/formations et prestations sur ce logiciel.”)
