these seem to be major claims?
- sidewndr46 2y agoIt really depends, even if found to be in violation of the license the outcome could be "promise not to do it again".
- lucb1e 2y agoCould still be monumental if that creates the case law to be referenced in the future. Lawsuits are a lot easier to start when you know you're going to win because a previous case was extremely similar, which is to say this could have a major impact on the industry even if the punishment (this time, for doing it while it was uncharted territory) was a slap on the wrist
- nickelpro 2y agoRead the decision, the breach of contract claim simply survived dismissal, but the surrounding discussion makes it clear it doesn't have much of a prayer (which is the same as the "open-source license violation", the OP article is trash).
