I understand this is just the last instance of a series of (L)GPL violation on the part of AVM. The irony is that with each lost case, AVM strengthens the reputation of the Germany legal system in copyleft cases.
>"The favorable result of this lawsuit exemplifies the power of copyleft—granting users the freedom to modify, repair, and secure the software on their own devices,"
I am not entirely sure that is what LGPL is about. Unless the router was specifically sold as Open Source. I thought the whole reason for LGPL is that you could use it with other proprietary code?
It’s a bummer that AVM, while being actually very techie-friendly, is a bit weird about its firmware.
Aren't firmwares for Fritzboxes provided by the Freetz-NG project?
