Paris Court of Appeals condemns Edu4 for violating the GNU General Public License

"The suit was filed by Association pour la formation professionnelle des adultes (AFPA), a French education organization.

""This decision should raise awareness about free software licensing for everyone involved with it," said Olivier Hugot, attorney of Free Software Foundation France. "Companies distributing the software have been given a strong reminder that the license's terms are enforceable under French law. And users in France can rest assured that, if need be, they can avail themselves of the legal system to see violations addressed and their rights respected."
