    Andy Tai writes: "The Vidomi GPL violation case, previously mentioned at slashdot as the "first legal test of the GPL", has been resolved without going to court. Vidomi has split their program into two programs and released the source code of the encoder, which links to other GPLed libraries, under the GPL. The FSF has approved the resulting arrangement as compliant with the GPL." See the original story.

    Trepidity writes "In stark contrast to the plethora of false alarms recently, there's a pretty clear-cut case that Vidomi, a DVD ripping product by SloMedia, is composed of a great deal of code from VirtuaDub, a GPLd product. As SloMedia have refused all requests to either release their source or stop using the code, the developer is planning to file suit with the aid of the Free Software Foundation, in what could be the first legal test of the GPL's enforceability."
