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.”
