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.

    OMFG!

    Did you just link to the GPL? Dude, I have a cron
    job the searches my harddisk for the GPL and deletes it, incase I have
    installed new software.
    Infact, the perl script invoked by cron not only
    does look for the name "COPYING", it also does an
    MD5 checksum, and knows about the finger prints of
    both GPL versions.

    The next release will be network enabled, and we
    are aiming for a full blown web crawler, of google
    proportions, that does nothing but exploit servers
    and delete GPLs.

    The world needs only ONE GPL, in Stallman's box, and
    the rest of us can symlink to it.
