Law and Order In France, the GPL has scored yet another major win in court. What makes this infringements case special is that it was filed not by the developers of the infringed-upon code, but by users, demonstrating that they, too, can successfully enforce the GPL. Since I noted on a few threads here on OSNews that a lot of people still fail to grasp the difference between an open source license and an EULA, I figured I'd take this opportunity to explain the difference one more time - using hand-crafted diagrams!

So your back at Mandriva and they got some budget now ?
Or your just too lazy to update your info ...

Either way you got lawyers who can answer your question :

If your not the owner of the code can you license it ... go ask.
