  SFC Files Amicus Brief in Support of Users' Rights under AGPLv3§7
  
  SFC filed an amicus brief in the ongoing case of Neo4j, Inc. v. PureThink, LLC, which is now appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The appeal focuses on a downstream licensee's right under the Affero General Public License, version 3 (and similar rights under GPLv3 and LGPLv3) to remove “Further Restrictions” — even when such restrictions are put in place by original licensors. SFC was proud to stand up for this important right under copyleft, and appears to be the only organization that filed an amicus brief in this case.
