#Vizio exige desestimar el caso de infracción de #GPL de #SmartCast | Desde Linux

Hace unas cuantas semanas compartimos aquí en el blog la noticia sobre la demanda por parte de la Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) ha presentado una demanda judicial contra la empresa Vizio, junto con el incumplimiento de los requisitos de GPL para distribuir firmware a la plataforma SmartCast basada en televisores inteligentes.

Ahora, se ha dado a conocer informacion mas reciente y que la organización de derechos humanos Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) ha publicado sobre el curso del litigio con Vizio relacionado con el incumplimiento.

Por su parte, Vizio no ha expresado su deseo de eliminar la violación de GPL, no negoció para resolver los problemas identificados y no trató de probar que los cargos eran incorrectos y que el código GPL modificado no se usa en el firmware. En cambio, Vizio envió una solicitud a un tribunal superior para suspender el procedimiento con el pretexto de que los consumidores no son beneficiarios y no tienen derecho a presentar tales reclamaciones.

@tomasekeli @Gargron I never said that “the only free license is #GPL”. See the #FSD's participation guide and review/submission guidelines (both linked from the start/home page) to see what is considered in the reviews.

@craigmaloney I don't know exactly what is the work in question but if you can, use #AGPL instead of #GPL. Also try to use latest version with the “or-later” option (I know this is sometimes not possible, specially when some CC-BY-SA-4.0 work is involved, for which case it's better to use the “only” versions and assign #CreativeCommons as #license #proxy).

@markosaric Please just don't do any CLA and stick with one license (preferably latest #AGPL / #GPL with “or-later”, and let contributors keep their own #Copyright (or let them assign it to @conservancy or @fsfstatus ).

@markosaric Use latest #AGPL with “or-later”, there are pundits who could take an installable image editor and turn it into a service as a software substitute.

Perhaps the only exception, favoring #GPL, would be when making #WebExtension to replace something in a webpage you don't control.

@alcinnz This is why @fsfstatus and @conservancy advocate for community oriented enforcement of strong #Copyleft such as latest #GPL / #AGPL with "or-later" option and keeping individual #Copyright. Also please foster repositories explicitly commited to follow the #GNU #FSDG.

Com o foco da mídia no #CódigoAberto em vez do #SoftwareLivre / #SoftwareLibre, e a documentação de @fsf, @fsfe, @conservancy, e @sflc nos aspectos legais e práticos de "transmitir" na #AGPL / #GPL, considerando que muitas empresas publicam relatórios de #finanças / #contabilidade anuais, é difícil achar detalhes de como estas aplicaram o #IAS 37 da #IFRS ou qualquer padrão relativo (e.g.: #CPC) em face do fato #contábil.

Even considering mainstream focus on #OpenSource instead of #FreeSoftware / #FreeSW, and documentation by @fsf, @fsfe, @conservancy, and @sflc on legal and practical aspects of "conveying" in #AGPL / #GPL, considering that many companies publish their annual #finance / #accounting reports, it's hard to find details on how a for-profit applied #IFRS's #IAS 37 or any related standard against the accountable fact of "conveying".

@schestowitz I think that #RMS attempted to make strong and upgradable #AGPL and #GPL get in #Microsoft's products/services, without compromises. A trial and error process. A nice moment to try given MS's change of CEO. However, as a side-effect of the failure, we get MS glorifying RMS's visit as a supposed support for the unethical activities.

@alpine_thistle @hisham_hm "free/libre software" is a movement that, in capability-based theory of political philosophy, gives the user control over his own material environment, also taking care to give these freedoms and *preserve and spread* then legally. According to https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/stallman-nussbaum-and-sen-putting-freedom-in-context/ , https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/free-software-free-society/ and https://journals.openedition.org/rccs/pdf/5462 . Thus strong and "or-later" #copyleft license with community enforcement is advocated ( #AGPL first then #GPL second).

Big things happening at #QOTO I wanted to update everyone on.

So as most of you know I had a year long back injury that put a lot of QOTO plans on hold. But I've been healed and working on bringing much of that vision to reality.

As of a few weeks ago a few close friends and fellow engineers wanted to join the team. I am currently sitting with 3 other new engineers and we are working on bringing up several instances including peertube, nextcloud, gitlab, discourse, and of course a newer version of QOTO. A full collaboration suite for others in STEM and the open-source community. All for free to its users.

This launch will coincide with several of my other projects many of you follow including protowaffle, ROES, Graphactor, Aparapi, Ferma and many others. We will host all the source on QOTO as well as make it the source for future software announcements related to those products.

Stay tuned for me.
