I understand how these things go, and the need for non-disclosure, but I would love to know who is suing who here. I put Tomato on every router I install, because when I do that, those routers NEVER require a restart.<p>I would love to know what hardware NOT to buy. Please, somebody tell me it's not Buffalo Wireless.
I've been watching Harald Welte's tweets about attending a court hearing over this:<p><i>Today I learned in court that removing a module using 'rmmod' has nothing to do with the #linux #kernel ;) lol.</i> [1]<p>but AFAIK noone yet knows the specifics...<p>[1] <a href="http://twitter.com/laf0rge" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/laf0rge</a>
So what makes this "important" rather than "stupid"? Has it reached a court that can set precedent, or does someone just need validation, or do they somehow actually conceivably have a case, or ...?
Let me get this straight:<p>Company A is suing company B because B modified GPLed binaries on A's hardware. Yet you hide them. Last I checked, court actions like suing are public, yet hindered by an easy court search.<p>And frankly, why does this matter? If it was an important case, we'd be hearing it on CNet, slashdot, digg, reddit, MSN... You name it. Just seems like a rather stuffy case of boring, but expensive, corporate law.
