Dmitry is posted on reddit that he is going to DMCA DEFCON for using his code unauthorized and is granting napkin licenses to people in reddit comments or who had the badge signed at DC https://www.reddit.com/user/dmitrygr/ https://www.reddit.com/user/dmitrygr/
- thomascountz 2y agoIf the agreement with EE included the delivery of firmware (of which Dmitry is the original license holder), DF is responsible for acquiring the software licensing agreement. If EE signed the licensing agreement, claiming to be the license holder, it would be EE who misrepresented their claim and would be noncompliant. DF has a duty to verify that EE can issue licenses, but I'm unsure how far is considered adequate with respect to damages or license violations.
