So much for all those people who insist that the GPL has never been validated in court. The GPL has just been upheld again, in Frankfurt, where D-Link got slapped for breaking copyright law by failing to live up to the GPL.
On September 6, 2006 the district court issued its judgement, confirming the claims by gpl-violations.org, specifically its rights on the subject-matter source code, the violation of the GNU GPL by D-Link, the validity of the GPL under German law, and D-Links obligation to reimburse gpl-violations.org for legal expenses, test purchase and cost of re-engineering.
