Comment Vizio's Arguments (Score 5, Interesting) 66
nothing in the text of the GPLs suggests that third parties have the right to enforce alleged violations of the GPLs. Further, the FSF has made clear that it never intended third-party enforcement, stating publicly that ‘the copyright holders of the software are the ones who have the power to enforce the GPL’ and that ‘[i]f you think you see a violation of the GNU GPL [or] LGPL . . . you should send a precise report to the copyright holders of the packages that are being wrongly distributed . . . [because] we cannot act on our own where we do not hold copyright.
Maybe...in that case perhaps the authors of the software in question (Linux kernel, BusyBox, a handful of GNU utilities) should get involved to squash that argument.
Vizio also argued that GPL is a software license, not a contract, so the company has no contractual obligation to provide SFC with Vizio OS’s source code, even if SFC were considered a third-party beneficiary of GPLv2 LGPLv2.
Heh, good luck with that one. Furthermore, I don't think that's a precedent that any proprietary software wants set
This is gonna be a good one!

Afaik, any use of (non-L)GPL code in your project requires you to open the code you add to it as GPL as well
This is only true if the resulting project is distributed. Software-as-a-Service that contains GPL'd code is not required to be GPL'd.
Comment Tax Incentives (Score 3, Insightful) 102
If they really want this to happen the government should offer tax incentives to businesses who will agree to allowing employees to work remotely. And if they have been found to violate that policy, then the incentives get revoked immediately.
