Allnet GPL Infringement Settled Constructively

Posted by simoniker on from the that's-the-way-to-do-it dept.

Elektroschock writes "LWN has coverage of a GPL dispute settled in a constructive manner. Allnet GmbH, German manufacturer and distributor of networking equipment, including switches, routers, NICs and wireless adapters, infringed the GNU Public License of netfilter/iptables. As part of the settlement Allnet GmbH will donate money to tax-exempt not-for-profit organizations, i.e. FSF Europe and FFII. Both organisations lobby for better copyright and patent legislation in Europe."

      Well at least this one wants to actually live in the US, and not cut wages while spending the five cents a day overseas. And that obese women thing is a plus. Might I suggest employment as CmdrTaco's man-whore? I hear he's always desperate for more. And CowboyNeal *is* and obese woman.

    Has anyone hunted through that leaked Windows source for GPLed code? Not much a chance but it would be lovely if there were some. Then all our software would be free.

      If there were any gpl infringement in Windows, MS could just remove the code.

  6. He touched my junk! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    Richard Stallman touched my junk liberally. he strapped me in to his stallmobile and he couldnt keep his offensive hands off of me. he was performing many red flag touches. i couldnt believe what the fuck was going on. i told Richard Stallman the city would not approve of a millionaire touching an underage kid for free.
    can you believe it? Richard Stallman did all this. he picked me off the street, strapped my arms and legs down in the stallmobile's passenger seat, and just wouldn't stop fondling my cock'n'balls.
    they definately were red flag touches. the goddamn referee he had in the back seat kept on raising up this red flag every time he touched my junk but did Richard Stallman care? NO WAY! he just kept on doing it. I couldn't believe what the fuck was going on, indeed. I pleaded with Richard Stallman but to no avail. I told him the city would not approve of such a wealthy man touching an underage kid like me (at the time I was 13) without at least compensating me for the trauma and the use of my body as his own personal plaything.
    this got to him, worrying about his image. he continued to fondle me, all the while ignoring the referee's red flags. then he drove the stallmobile to my house and ejected the seat i was in! it was amazing. but surprisingly, after I woke up the next morning, my bank account had $150k in it!!! Can you believe it?
