Yeah, what I’ve heard about it has made it sound like the judge is probably broadly sympathetic to the SFC’s arguments, which of course is a good thing. It’s been a bit since I’ve really looked deeply into it, but at least what I’ve heard sounds hopeful.

I’m probably getting my hopes up too high, but it’d be so great if that case went the SFC’s way. (And stayed that way on appeals or whatever.)

IANAL, but the fact that what they’re suing for isn’t money but rather for the courts to force Visio to comply with the GPL, that probably means that a settlement is unlikely, and a judgement is going to have much more profound effects on the industry than a settlement would.

Anyway. That whole case fascinates me. We’ll see how things go. 🤞
