The historic Software Freedom Conservancy v. Vizio, Inc. case continues in Superior Court in California!

SFC announced that we recently filed an updated Motion for Summary Adjudication
(similar to a Motion for Partial Summary Judgement in USA federal courts):
https://sfconservancy.org/news/2025/jul/10/sfc-updates-motion-for-summary-adjudication-vizio/

The motion asks the judge to summarily rule that SFC has a right as a third-party beneficiary under
the popular copyleft licenses — GPLv2 & LGPLv2.1.

A direct link to the filing:
https://sfconservancy.org/docs/2025-05-23_SFC-vs-Vizio_second-SFC-Motion-for-Summary-Adjudication.pdf

Also, please do reply to this thread for discussion all day today and tomorrow (2025-07-1{0,1}) with our Policy Fellow @bkuhn about the filing and more information about the Vizio case!

Keep in mind the trial is *this September* starting on 2025-09-22 in Santa Ana, CA & it's open to the public!
