Can a company modify GPL-licensed software on a third-party device? Router
|
|
|
|
|
manufacturer AVM accused Cybits of copyright and trademark infringement
|
|
|
|
|
for modifying the original router firmware, which is largely based on the
|
|
|
|
|
Linux kernel. Together with gpl-violations.org, we successfully convinced
|
|
|
|
|
the court that the terms of the GPL licence are binding: software under
|
|
|
|
|
this licence can be freely modified and installed, even if it is supplied
|
|
|
|
|
as part of the firmware of an embedded device.
