<title>AVM GPL violation</title>

Can a company modify GPL-licensed software on a third-party
|
|
device? The router manufacturer AVM accused Cybits of copyright
|
|
infringement and trademark claims because they modify the
|
|
original router firmware which is largely based on the Linux
|
|
kernel. Together with gpl-violations.org we successfully
|
|
convinced the court that the provisions in the GPL license are
|
|
binding: software under this license can be freely modified and
|
|
installed even if it is shipped as part of an embedded device's
|
|
firmware.
