Blizzard Asks Judge to Forbid Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| Putting aside the confusion between "free" and "open source," this would at
| the very least be an unusual remedy. It also shows that there are still edge
| cases where the ideals of the free software movement (which is certainly a
| part of the open source movement) bumps up against the legal system. On the
| one hand, the very existence of licenses like the GPL depends on copyright
| law. On the other, forbidding the release of code as being too dangerous to a
| copyright seems like an overstepping bit of prior restraint. However the
| court rules, though, there's likely to be some precedent here that open
| source advocates will need to be aware of.
