When Talk Fails

a German court found a Dutch firm guilty of violating GPL clauses in May last year. The case was viewed by most industry observers as a landmark ruling for the open-source community.

The company, a subsidiary of Sitecom Europe, had distributed a firmware containing software modules which included netfilter/iptables based on the GPL. The Dutch company offered the firmware as a download on its Web site, but did not make reference to the fact that it contained software licensed under the GPL.

Sometimes the software does go to court.
