First Legal Test of the GPL

Trepidity writes "In stark contrast to the plethora of false alarms recently, there's a pretty clear-cut case that Vidomi, a DVD ripping product by SloMedia, is composed of a great deal of code from VirtuaDub, a GPLd product. As SloMedia have refused all requests to either release their source or stop using the code, the developer is planning to file suit with the aid of the Free Software Foundation, in what could be the first legal test of the GPL's enforceability."
