[Sheflug] GPLv2 copyright suit targets 14 firms

[Richard Ibbotson <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm....

Looks like it's beginning to gather some momentum...

http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/SFLC-suit-against-Best-Buy-et-
al/?kc=rss

"  On behalf of the developers of the BusyBox embedded utilities 
collection, the Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) filed suit against 
14 consumer electronics companies for violating GPLv2 licensing 
requirements. The lawsuit covers almost 20 Linux-based products, from 
companies including Best Buy, Samsung, Westinghouse, and JVC, says the 
SFLC. "

Some of you might remember the SFLC talk that we did some time ago 
here in Sheffield.
