We've almost crossed $50k in our fundraiser! Help us meet our match by donating: https://sfconservancy.org/sustainer/
We're hard at work ensuring your software freedom and digital rights. Just in the past week and a half, we've had major accomplishments:
* We joined an amicus curiae brief in Green v. Department of Justice along with other organizations. https://sfconservancy.org/news/2023/dec/06/sfc-amicus-curiae-in-dmca-suit/
* We started the December Outreachy round! 59 interns in eleven different countries will start work this week in 21 different FOSS communities. We can’t wait to see all that the interns learn and accomplish.
* Since we first filed comments in the U.S. Copyright Office’s so-called “Artificial Intelligence Study”, we've responded to Microsoft's comments to make sure we stay engaged and represent community over corporate interests. https://sfconservancy.org/news/2023/dec/11/response-to-bigtech-arguments-copyright-office/
* In our lawsuit against Vizio, we've filed a we submitted our “Motion for Summary Adjudication”, seeking a pre-trial ruling on two key arguments in the case. First, the motion seeks to establish that distributors of GPL’d and LGPL’d software (such as Vizio) have a legal duty to the recipients of the software to provide the complete, corresponding source code (CCS) upon request. Second, we counter Vizio’s claims that the contractual rights under the GPL Agreements are preempted by copyright law. in our view, third parties (i.e., consumers and users of the devices) do have a right to CCS — even if they are not a copyright holder. A blog post about this is soon to follow!
