NuSphere vs. MySQL AB Hearing

Posted by michael on from the legal-wrangling dept.

An anonymous submitter sent in: "The hearing is over, and Adam Kessel posted a report about what happened in the court room. The judge is probably not going to issue a temp. injunction against NuSphere on the GPL violation, but probably WILL issue an injunction on trademark issues." Politech has another report on the hearing.

  1. Please stay home next time by Daniel+Quinlan · · Score: 1, Flamebait
    After reading some of the comments on the audience and the judge's reaction to the open source movement, I can only say:

    If you want to support someone at any future GPL related hearing, please stay home (unless you're going to act like a grownup).

    All we need to do to convince a judge that we're a bunch of kooks is dress like we're silicon valley engineers (or worse), play Quake on our laptops, and snicker when the judge makes technical mistakes. I learned not to be a snot to the authority figure (think: professor) back when I was in college, but apparently, some people never learn.
