"The FSF filed its legal complaint against Cisco last month,
alleging that the networking giant violated the terms of the GPL,
or General Public License (define).
"Experts say the lawsuit -- about which both parties have been
tight-lipped -- is about more than just about protecting the
code-availability tenets of the free software license. Instead,
they're weighing the wider impact that a court decision could have
on setting legal precedent for GPL compliance and
infringement."
