A GPL compliance case against Iliad
,----[ Quote ]
| Several free software writers have
| called Iliad, one of the main telecom companies in France, to respect
| their work, and a judicial proceeding has begun to demand the respect
| of their licence. This action follows repeated refusals of Iliad to
| publish the source code of the Free Software included in their Freebox.
| Although the writers appreciate "the innovative contributions that
| Iliad has made in the telecommunication industry, along its historical
| inclination toward Free Software", they are concerned about the reasons
| that may have led Iliad to this philosophical swing.
