In one hour, there will be a hearing in the VIzio law suit!

It's about a motion VIzio made, asking the court to rule (without any discussion at trial) that there is no installation right in #gplv2. The "tentative" ruling published this morning denies VIzio's request! The parties will discuss further at the hearing to see if the tentative becomes final.

Well, the hearing just wrapped up! Vizio's lawyers argued hard. The judge will now consider the arguments and we'll wait and see how she makes her final decision.

On a side note, it's really a privilege to hear the text of GPLv2 discussed by the legal profession in court!
