The Software Freedom Law Center is the main watch dog for the GPL family of licenses.
Its rare that we see oss license litigation make it to court. In most cases these issus are settled quietly behind closed doors. But ironically the problem is that we dont have much modern case law on the books to create solid precidence behind many OSS license issues.
Its sounds odd but its actually a good thing that some of these make it to a point where we can publicly see the outcome. I for one will be watching this one closely. But then again who wants to bet both parties come to a agreement under non-disclosed terms shortly?
