SFC Files Updated Motion for Summary Adjudication in Vizio Case
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:

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!
