Star The Difference Between EULAs and Open Source Licenses
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 25th Sep 2009 14:01 UTC
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 if it's something that you're in favor of, then it's a protection. And if it's something that you're opposed to, then it's a restriction? Gotcha.

Exactly my point. What is so hard to understand? Glad someone got it finally.
