<h1>FSFE supports Hellwig's GPL compliance lawsuit</h1> |
|
|
|
<p>FSFE welcomes |
|
the <a href="http://sfconservancy.org/news/2015/mar/05/vmware-lawsuit/">action</a> |
|
which Christoph Hellwig and the Software Freedom |
|
Conservancy are taking to bring VMware into compliance |
|
with the GNU General Public License.</p> |
|
|
|
<blockquote><p> |
|
FSFE's president Karsten Gerloff comments: "Free Software |
|
is a public resource, and it is governed by legal rules |
|
and social norms. Anyone who draws on this resource |
|
without respecting those rules and norms does damage to |
|
the community at large. The great majority of such |
|
problems are successfully resolved through dialogue and |
|
goodwill. It is only when dialogue fails that legal steps |
|
become necessary in order to protect this resource which |
|
we all share. |
|
</p></blockquote> |
|
<p> |
|
While FSFE regrets that this lawsuit has arisen, we |
|
believe that safeguarding Free Software against those who |
|
try to appropriate for themselves what belongs to us all |
|
is of the utmost importance. |
