<h1>Free Software legal news</h1>
<p newsteaser="yes">Collection of interesting Free Software related legal news for the last two weeks (21.11 - 8.12). You will read about new ground-breaking decision of Court of Justice of EU, abuse of copyright against an Android developer, opinion of Pirate Party MEP on eVoting and more.</p>
<h3>Koha creators asking for help in trademark dispute</h3>
<p>Koha is a free library management system. This software has been the subject of an ongoing fight with a US company called LibLime; it seems that LibLime now thinks it is entitled to a trademark on the Koha name in New Zealand. <i>See</i> <a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/468838/rss">article by LWN.net</a></p>
<h3>Mobile "rootkit" maker tries to silence critical Android developer</h3>
<p>A data-logging software company is seeking to squash an Android developer’s critical research into its software that is secretly installed on millions of phones, but Trevor Eckhart is refusing to publicly apologize for his research and remove the company’s training manuals from his website.<i>See</i> <a href="http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/11/mobile-rootkit-maker-tries-to-silence-critical-android-dev-1.ars?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=rss">article by ArsTechnica</a></p>
<h3>Censorship in Name of Copyright Violates Fundamental Rights</h3>
<p>The Court ruled that forcing Internet service providers to monitor and censor their users' communications violated EU law, and in particular the right to freedom of communication. <i>See</i> <a href="http://www.laquadrature.net/en/eu-court-of-justice-censorship-in-name-of-copyright-violates-fundamental-rights">article by La Quadrature du Net</a></p>
<h3>Liberation by software</h3>
<p>Power has long been able to control the media. But the free software movement enables a radically democratic future. Which way the network behaves is determined solely by the software that comprises it. Freedom of the press, freedom of information, freedom of thought itself are now "implemented" rather than "declared", "protected" or "guaranteed".<i>See</i> <a href="http://www.laquadrature.net/en/eu-court-of-justice-censorship-in-name-of-copyright-violates-fundamental-rights">article by Eben Moglen in the Guardian</a></p>
