Newcomer?
Standing up for the GNU GPL
We get passionate requests for enforcement.
Supercomputers Android phones TVs Cars International Space Station Google Facebook T witter Amazon
Copyleft is good for everyone in the long run.
How much is saved on software and how many months are products faster to market?
Free software is everywhere and yet our freedoms are being constantly eroded.

Once upon a time... (aka October 2011)
● $36 billion market cap ● net revenue of over $1 billion ● Over 14,000 employees
In 2014, VMware fjnally said they would not comply with the GPL.
This is Christoph Hellwig ● 279,653 lines of code in the kernel ● 20 th of 1,340 in 3.19 ● 4 th among reviewers of third party code
VMware asked for an NDA just to look at the settlement ofger!
We were left with no choice but to sue.
This is the fjrst case on derivative works.
#VMwareDTRT
“The point of the GPL is that nobody can claim those rights and then kick away the ladder to prevent others from also receiving them. We hope VMware will step up and do the right thing," -- John Sullivan, FSF's executive director.
“They should read our open source 101 materials!”
Enforcing the GPL is very political
We are a small organization
...with a lot of other important work to do.
We need your help
We don't want to litigate, we just want compliance.
This is a long road.
You have a lot of power in this fjght.
Stand up for the GNU GPL!
