The other side (Entr’Ouvert) is also French. I don't see how you can think this is a case of France against not France.



Nobody thinks it's France v !France. Its big national corp (Orange) vs a little guy. The court sided with the BigCo. That's the issue.


Yeah, if Orange was willing to do this once, the chances are that their tech stack would be swiss cheese if they had to excise all the GPL-licensed tech they are using without rights. The precedent is more important to them than the $3mm.


One is a national asset and one isn’t? (Perhaps I’m wrong)
