😲 👀 … Judge Leal in #SFC's landmark impact litigation against #Vizio (regarding their violations of #GPLv2 & #LGPLv2_1) is leaning toward partially granting our motion for summary adjudication.

Such motions are difficult to win, so this is amazing.

Her decision is tentative; join the hearing today (details in linked post) to hear the oral arguments in real time.

I'll live updates of the hearing in this thread.
