Does Using GPL Software Violate Sarbanes-Oxley?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the dispelling-fud dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "eWeek is reporting that The Software Freedom Law Center has published a white paper that dismisses recent publications from embedded systems seller Wasabi Systems. Wasabi recently released statements focusing on alleged GNU General Public License violations in relation to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The white paper, titled "Sarbanes-Oxley and the GPL: No Special Risk," essentially counsels users of the free software license that they have no need to worry."

    I have to agree.... this is really lame filler type news on this site. It seems that ole Slashdot has really gone down hill... even looking at the number and quality of comments on the different news lines is on the decline.... looks like digg is really kicking ass.
